Until Hurricane Hermine, Florida had enjoyed a period of about ten years without a hurricane making landfall. In the fall of 2016, Hermine developed as the ninth tropical depression in the and became the hurricane that struck the Florida panhandle, causing substantial damage, debris, and flooding across the region. KDF was on site immediately, working closely with Florida DOT representatives to ensure a quick response. In the recovery, KDF managed the collection, hauling, and proper disposal of over 20,000 cubic yards of debris in Leon County and Tallahassee, Florida.
