Clear storm debris from an Alexandria street after flooding

After a Corniche storm-overtopping event, sand, seaweed, and loose debris left behind can block drains and sidewalks for days if nobody clears it — a simple hand-cleared pass keeps the next storm's water moving instead of pooling on top of the last one's mess. Standard: UNDRR flood-resilience guidance — SDG 11 & SDG 13 (Climate Action). Proof: Before/after photos of the cleared area. Method (UNDRR flood-resilience guidance — SDG 11 & SDG 13 (Climate Action).): 1. Confirm the storm has passed and water has receded from the area. 2. Clear loose debris (sand, seaweed, litter) from the sidewalk and drain area by hand. 3. Bag the debris for municipal collection. 4. Check the nearby drain grate is clear. 5. Photograph the cleared area. Done when: Before/after photos of the cleared area.

Pay

$160 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after photos of the cleared area.

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: FEMA floodplain + green-infrastructure siting screen

Bring

• GPS phone
• tape/ruler for deposition depth
• metals field kit (if sediment screen in scope)
• boots + gloves
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Confirm post-event conditions are safe; navigate to the site; record GPS.
2. 2. Photograph deposited sediment / affected area.
3. 3. Measure deposition depth at representative points.
4. 4. If a sediment contaminant screen is in scope, run the metals field kit and record values.
5. 5. Note debris, hazards, and the extent (sketch).
6. 6. Enter depth, any analytes, hazard notes, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Unstable ground / submerged debris / contaminated water -> document from safe footing; do not enter.
• Elevated metals in deposited sediment -> flag before any reuse; recommend lab confirm.

What counts as done

• Deposition depth recorded at representative points
• Metals screen recorded (if in scope)
• Debris/hazard note + extent sketch
• GPS waypoint + timestamped photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
