U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Zone Manager Rockie Sullivan, assigned to the Galveston District leads USACE quality assurance personnel and contractors in a series of dynamic warm-up and flexibility movements prior to beginning debris removal operations in a residential neighborhood impacted by the Southern California wildfires, July 16, 2025, in Pacific Palisades, California.
The daily "Safety-First" ritual is an integral component of the Palisades Emergency Field Office’s safety program, which is designed to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and ensure team members remain agile while navigating the unstable terrain and heavy wreckage of the burn scars.
As USACE works under a FEMA mission assignment to clear hazardous material from hundreds of residential lots, the physical readiness of the workforce is paramount to maintaining the pace of the recovery efforts.
The debris removal mission serves as a critical bridge between disaster and reconstruction, providing a clean slate for families to rebuild following the most destructive fire season in the region’s history.
