Patent ID: 7878392

Claim:
A computer-implemented method of performing debris clean-up following a disaster event, the method comprising: pre-registering a debris transporter and storing a registration identifier that uniquely identifies the debris transporter in a portable electronic information storage device; creating an electronic load ticket for the pre-registered debris transporter to transport a load of debris from a site of debris origin to a second site where the load of debris is to be emptied from the transporter, the electronic load ticket including information identifying the geographic location of debris origin, and being electronically stored on the portable electronic information storage device that contains the registration identifier that uniquely identifies the pre-registered debris transporter; following the arrival at the second site of a debris transporter carrying a load of debris and the portable electronic information storage device, reading, from the electronic information storage device and to a portable computing device, the stored registration identifier and the electronic load ticket; and upon verifying that the transporter that has arrived at the second site is the pre-registered debris transporter corresponding to the registration identifier read by the portable computing device, receiving at the portable computing device information describing the load of debris that has been transported.
