Wildfires and major storms generate Private Property Debris Removal (PPDR) programs that look nothing like Right-of-Way work. Atlas Foundation handles the parcel-scale documentation, hazard tree workflows, and Right-of-Entry tracking that PPDR demands — without bolting them onto a ROW-shaped tool.
On a Right-of-Way job, the unit of work is the load ticket. On PPDR, it's the parcel. The parcel has an owner. The owner has signed (or hasn't signed) a Right-of-Entry agreement. The parcel has zero, one, or many hazard trees that have to be assessed, tagged, and removed under federal authority. There's a debris removal certification tying the work to that specific lot. And every record has to align to FEMA Public Assistance Category A and B simultaneously — without forcing the field crew to know which is which.
Tools built for ROW debris stretch awkwardly to fit. The reconciliation pain at closeout is even worse than ROW because there's no central disposal site to triangulate against — the work happened parcel by parcel, and the paper trail has to reconstruct the same way.
Each parcel is its own record. Address, owner, parcel ID, intake date, ROE status, work assigned, work completed, FEMA documentation linked. No more spreadsheet-of-spreadsheets workflow when the program scales.
Tree-by-tree assessment, GPS-anchored, photo-attached. Tagging, re-evaluation, removal documentation, and certification — captured in the field, validated against the program's eligibility rules, signed off by the appropriate role.
Per-parcel debris removal certifications generated automatically from the field record — tied to the monitor, supervisor, and contractor of record. No re-keying, no missing signatures at closeout.
The field worker doesn't categorize work — Atlas does, based on the captured facts. Documentation flows to the right Public Assistance category with complete audit chain, ready for both recipient and subrecipient submissions.
Pre-, mid-, and post-work photos at the parcel, geolocated to the property boundary. Hash-chained for tamper evidence. Audit-ready the moment the monitor hits Save.
ROE status per parcel — pending, signed, refused, expired. Workflow gates that prevent crews from touching a property whose ROE isn't current. The audit defensibility starts before the chainsaw turns on.
State and local emergency management agencies running federally-funded PPDR programs. Prime contractors and consultancies providing PPDR program management. Hauling and removal contractors who need parcel-aligned documentation tied to their work product. And the field crews — assessors, certified arborists, monitors — who need a tool shaped like the work, not bent around it.
We're looking for design partners running active or anticipated PPDR programs. Half-hour conversations, real input on the build. No pressure.
