Protect30A District Ops · Community Storm Recovery
Pilot organizing · October 22, 2026
Eight communities.
One coordinated cleanup.
A neighborhood approach to clearing storm debris—with professional crews, clear costs, and useful reuse of suitable wood.
We’re organizing the Walton Community Cleanup Pilot, proposed for neighborhoods along Highway 393 and in Bellamar/Gulf Place. Help us build a practical plan around the needs on your street.
Planning inquiries are welcome. Cleanup booking and photo uploads are not available on this page.
Start locally. Learn together.
One neighborhood block.
A process we can repeat.
Grouping nearby work could reduce travel and setup time. Every property would still have its own permission, defined scope, approved price, and completion record. We’ll measure the results before expanding.
For potential partners
We’re exploring grant administration, sponsorship, professional cleanup capacity, and approved mulch destinations. Roles and commitments will be confirmed before operations begin.
Where the pilot stands
Contractor participation, funding, prices, and start dates are pending confirmation. Expressing interest does not book service, authorize property access, or create a payment obligation. Assistance and reimbursement are not guaranteed.
The proposed process
Clear steps. Traceable work.
Understand the need
When secure intake opens, residents would provide debris photos, location, and access details. Assessments would distinguish estimates from contractor-verified quantities.
Plan the neighborhood
Nearby properties would be grouped into work blocks, with equipment and time estimates checked by the contractor.
Agree before work starts
Each job would need permission, a defined scope, price, responsible payer, and any required funding approval.
Follow through to the destination
Record completed cleanup, measured quantities, and hauling destinations. Suitable wood could become mulch where a receiving site approves its use.
A voice for every community
Eight communities.
Shared standards.
The proposed program keeps community needs visible while retaining records for each HOA, property, and cleanup job. The first work block would help establish a repeatable approach for the wider corridor.

Before you participate
Is cleanup available to book now?
No. This is the organizing stage. We will publish confirmed availability, service boundaries, prices, and instructions when the pilot is ready.
Will a grant or FEMA pay for my cleanup?
No funding or reimbursement is promised. Any assistance would depend on an identified program’s eligibility, covered work, and approvals. A community grouping or nonprofit intermediary alone does not establish eligibility.
What should I send today?
Use the existing Protect30A contact form for a planning inquiry. Include “Storm Recovery,” your neighborhood or HOA, your role, and a general description. Avoid sensitive personal information. Do not send precise photo coordinates or ownership documents at this stage.
What if the work is already covered elsewhere?
Check existing public services, insurance, or other assistance before paying or committing funds. The program would record coverage and prevent duplicate payment for the same work.
What about dangerous trees or power lines?
This page is not an emergency dispatch service. Stay clear of unstable trees and power lines; report electrical hazards to the utility and call 911 for an immediate emergency.
