I hope some funding comes in, either private or public, to begin clean up. All of that debris needs to be removed and either recycled or destroyed. I can only imagine that much of that debris is truly reusable. If I had the ability and means I would start sending heavy equipment in to clear the roads, then begin the arduous process of sorting recyclable from non recyclable. The corporations that start sending equipment might be able to recoup some costs by sending recyclable materials to other countries to process. The construction debris is an entirely different animal. Maybe some of it can be used as fill material rather than being sent to the landfill. Once that is done then I'd look to start the rebuilding first using local talent already there. During this clean up period would be a great time to start a training program to take non skilled residents and give them a trade to learn. It's going to be a looonnng time but I have faith in our SXM friends.
