OMNI PINNACLE -- http://www.omnipinnacle.com/
“Huge red front-loaders bearing makeshift paper signs with Omni Pinnacle Emergency Response Specialists slowly make their way through a golf course subdivision, picking up the trees that once shaded the upscale homes.

“Rick Siemonsma, a log-hauler from South Dakota who expected to come clear debris for at least six months, said he wasted more time than he spent working because of disorganization at the landfill.

“‘I don't know if it's FEMA, or who it is," Siemonsma complained.

“Siemonsma, in business by himself and hired by Omni, doesn't know who's in charge. But local FEMA officials say the debris pickup is being coordinated by the multibillion-dollar Shaw Group.”
