Disaster Relief Bathroom Trailers

2018 has truly been a year of ups and downs. We have seen a number of record breaking natural disasters challenge our country. From the volcanic eruptions in Hawaii to the hurricanes on the East Coast, it saddens us to see so many displaced families, destroyed businesses, and suffering communities. Despite the sadness the disasters have caused, it prides us to see how Americans have remained resilient, helping their fellow neighbor, volunteering as first responders, and doing all that they can to get these pieces of our nation back on their feet. As providers of a variety of portable trailers, our restroom, shower, and laundry trailers have come to the aid of many. Organizations and communities have appreciated the value that these simple, everyday amenities bring to a low morale right after a disaster strikes. We have used laundry trailers specifically to aid a wide variety of organizations. Volunteer organizations put them to use by providing washers and dryers for affected families and individuals. In many cases, power or water may not be available after a disaster. Our laundry trailers ensure that access to clean clothing is made possible. Other organizations, like community centers or churches, use them to keep linens and blankets clean for those who need shelter. After the trauma of potentially losing your house, car, or memories left behind, the comfort of a clean place to lie your head is essential. Overall, these units have provided an amenity that many of us take for granted. When you lose everything, a simple task like putting a load in the wash becomes a luxury. As communities begin to recover after these disasters strike, we are glad to provide a small trinket of hope when all is lost.   WHY LAUNDRY TRAILERS HELP   There are many ways that our laundry trailers provide aid when disaster strikes. A key factor that many of our clients appreciate is the easy maintenance of our units. When the call is made for laundry trailers, they’re delivered quickly and are able to be used soon after. Setup and breakdown is easy. We have created our units to be very user friendly, ensuring that fleet renters and owners are able to access all that they need and get laundry trailers up and running. The faster the trailers are up and running, the sooner they can start providing aid for those in need. One goal that our CEO had when our company was first founded was to provide a high quality product at an affordable price. That is why we have provided many options for payment when it comes to renting our purchasing a laundry trailer. We allow clients to choose to pay the trailer off in full or check out financing options. These options make our units accessible to businesses of all sizes and for a wide variety of uses. After laundry trailers are delivered and set up, they are available for a wide variety of used during a disaster. We have had many churches and communities come to us for laundry trailers. When emergency strikes, these nonprofit organizations are the first to house those who have been displaced. Laundry trailers allow these organizations to provide clean blankets, sleeping bags, and other comforting and warm items for their guests. After use, they are able to rewash these items and provide them for others who may need them. In addition to providing warm items, these laundry trailers can allow those seeking refuge to clean their clothing and other cloth articles. When someone has lost nearly everything, these last few items can mean the world to them. It can provide them with the comfort they need as they begin the recovery journey. Laundry trailers give these citizens the opportunity to care for their possessions. Aside from providing guests with sleeping items and a solution for any cloth items they’d like to wash, laundry trailers can provide simple, everyday assistance for organizations aiding in disaster relief. Other items, like mats, rugs, table cloths, or other small things we take for granted everyday can be what provides comfort for those displaced. These trailers can help to keep temporary shelters clean and welcoming.   TRAILERS FOR NATIONS FORD CHEMICAL COMPANY   While laundry trailers help with nonprofits and organizations providing relief for the affected, another group that benefits from them are small businesses. Many of us don’t think about how a disaster can affect local businesses. Depending on the damage, some must stop operating altogether for a period of time. When disaster strikes, we are ready to help by providing these companies with the tools they need to get back to business as quickly and effectively as possible. One company we were happy to aid was the Nations Ford Chemical Company. This company, based in South Carolina, provides chemicals for companies worldwide. When Hurricane Florence hit South Carolina, it put Nations Ford Chemical temporarily out of business. In order to get back up and running, employees were working around the clock, and with chemicals that may be harmful without proper care. Laundry trailers provide employees with a small amenity from home, allowing them to clean materials safely and thoroughly.

The 2018 Atlantic hurricane season was one of the worst we’ve seen to date. This season has been one leaving behind great devastation. With 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, 2 major hurricanes and a total of $33.3 billion in damages, millions of people were left in catastrophe. One of the most climactic of the season was Hurricane Michael. This was the second storm of the season that set records of devastation to the Florida Panhandle, which hadn’t been hit so hard since Hurricane Dennis in 2005. Hurricane Michael was the first category 4 storm on record to ever make landfall in the region. Before Michael had even made contact, an estimated 30 million people were under a hurricane watch or warning, or tropical storm watch or warning, across six states (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina), along with Central America.   A RECORD-BREAKING STORM   This Category 4 storm was packing maximum sustained winds of 155 mph as it made landfall Tyndall Air Force Base near the point of windfall, Mexico Beach. Due to the pressure of the storm, Michael is the third-most intense to ever hit the East Coast, following the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane and Camille in 1969. It was also the strongest Atlantic hurricane to form in the month of October since Hurricane Wilma. It surpassed Andrew in 1992 and was the strongest storm in the Florida Panhandle in history. Wind speed made it the fourth-strongest landfalling hurricane in the United States. Michael originated from a broad in a low-pressure area that formed in the southeastern Caribbean Sea on October 2.  By October 7, it had grown into a Tropical Depression after a week of slow development. Within 24 hours the storm had intensified into a hurricane near the western tip of Cuba, as it moved northward. It gained major notoriety on October 9, with a peak wind speed being only 2 mph short of Category 5 hurricane strength on the Saffir–Simpson scale. Hurricane Michael was transmigrating with a frightening fury. Hurricane Michael made history on October 10, 2018, not only by making landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida, but also by being the first category 4 hurricane to do so. With powerful peek winds of 155mph, the east coast braced themselves for impact. As the hurricane migrated northeastward toward Maryland and Virginia's Chesapeake Bay, it was without a doubt weakening. By the time it moved on to Georgia, Michael had downgraded to a tropical storm. The storm continued on while transitioning into an extratropical cyclone off the coast of the Mid-atlantic states on October 12. Finally, Michael was projected grow subsequently into a intense extratropical cyclone. It emigrated to the Iberian Peninsula, located in the southwest corner of Europe, before finally dispelling on October 16. At the end of Hurricane Michael, there were 60 unfortunate deaths that have been attributed to the storm, tallying 45 in the United States and 15 in Central America. A total of $14.58 billion in damages, including $100 million in economic losses in Central America, has been tallied. An estimated $3.3 billion in insurance claims have been filed in the U.S. and the number continues to rise. While in form as a tropical depression, Hurricane Michael caused extensive flooding in Central America along with a second disturbance over the eastern Pacific Ocean. While in Cuba, the hurricane's winds left over 200,000 people without power as the storm passed to the island's western region. Along the Florida panhandle, Michael left the most devastation for Mexico Beach and Panama City. Horrific damage was reported due to the extreme winds and storm surge. Countless homes were flattened and thousands trees fell over a wide swath of the panhandle. A maximum wind gust of 129 mph was measured on October 10, when Michael made landfall at Tyndall Air Force Base. Michael then made way across the Southeastern United States, with strong winds causing extensive power outages across the region. All in all, Michael was a terror and left so many people and businesses to pick up the pieces. With all devastation comes the chance to rebuild, which can be a silver lining for some areas. It’s a time to upgrade and renovate businesses. In Mexico Beach, Fl, one of the most plundered areas, Mayor Al Cathey has hope for the future of the small town. “We’re going to lose some of the quaintness that we had, in the old cottage style houses,” he told Reuters.com as he surveyed the damage in his truck. “But we’ll be newer and improved. Although the community, void of condominium high rises and hotel chains, is bound to be built differently to limit future damage.”  Brock Long, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), told CNN, “Local and state officials must be proactive in passing the necessary regulations, It’s OK if you want to live on the coast or on top of a mountain that sees wildfires or whatever, but you have to build to a higher standard...If we’re going to rebuild, do it right,” Long said.   A COMMUNITY IN NEED   Rebuilding takes time. It will be years before the sandy white beach town is back up and running in full force. With damages totaling in the millions, it will without a doubt need great efforts to be made. Where do you start?  Especially when you need it done correctly and immediately. A monumental part of rebuilding is funding, but as a business, how can you gain funds when you don't even have a functional building? A huge part of being able to open any facility is that you must have a working restroom, for your employees and customers.  During this delicate time to rebuild the city of Mexico Beach it’s more important now than ever to keep the strong pulse of the city moving. As a leading provider of portable restroom rentals, we are proud to partner up with businesses to help build a better tomorrow. We’re here to serve as a remedy and help with the basics to get back up and running. You never realize how important certain amenities are until they’re gone. The sooner you get back up and running the sooner you can gain some normality, and more importantly turn a profit.   PORTABLE RESTROOM RENTALS FOR BAKER DISTRIBUTING COMPANY   In Panama City, Florida, we’ve partnered up with Baker Distributing Company to provide portable restroom rentals to help begin to rebuild the Florida Panhandle and beyond.

With collective locations throughout the affected area of hurricane Michael, we’re ensuring that jobs are back to those when they need them most. We’re doing what we can to ensure citizens are getting what they need to not only rebuild their homes but also rebuild their communities but their lives.   HELP IS STILL NEEDED   When tragedy strikes, it’s more momentous than ever to come together in any way possible. Many efforts are being made at this time to help those directly involved in the aftermath of this abominable storm. Visa is doing their part by creating the “Back to business project,” lending a hand to small businesses dealing with the difficulties of patching things back together. Stats show that “after a natural disaster, 96% of small businesses see revenue losses, with 35% experiencing losses of greater than $25,000.” You can go to www.usa.visa.com/support/small-business/back-to-business-project, the small business merchant locator tool that will help you find small businesses affected by federally declared natural disasters, including disasters other than hurricanes and forest fires, that you can support. Many Charities and other organizations had been involved since before the storm made landfall. Organizations like Team Rubicon, Samaritan's Purse, All Hands and Hearts Smart Response, and Direct Relief were closely monitoring the path of the storm and prepped to deploy relief teams to assist in its immediate wake. These charities, and others like them, have provided food, shelter, medical care, and other necessities to victims of the storm. Groups and partners alike are the backbone of these disasters in being the first responders and dealing with people in their most frantic of states. When working in the shelters, volunteers report seeing evacuees watching their surroundings and, more tragically, their lives be forever changed. “It’s terrible... I don’t know how to explain it. No businesses are open. People are just doing what they can do,” says Pastor Chris Washington of Beacon Light Community Church in Panama City. He and a group of volunteers distributed relief supplies to a little over 300 members of the community by Oct. 18 at the church. “This is going to be a long recovery here,”  continues Pastor Chris.

All affected areas are still in the beginning stages due to the catastrophe, but they’re in it for the long haul to rebuild the places they all call home.

Hurricane Michael is now the 3rd strongest storm to hit the Atlantic Coast, following Hurricane Camille in 1969. It is also the first Category 4 storm to ever hit the Florida Panhandle, and officials are saying it’s the most devastating storm that Florida has ever seen. As a leading provider for shower trailers, we have constantly been on stand-by waiting to service those who are in the field helping communities affected by the storm. We have partnered with businesses who’s storefronts have been destroyed, volunteer groups who are housing those who have been displaced, and organizations helping with cleanup, search and rescue, and more. At this time, over 50 deaths have been tallied and over $8 billion in damages have added up. Families have lost their homes and businesses have been destroyed. Our hearts go out to those affected, and we also wait to do whatever we can to aid in disaster relief.   SHOWER TRAILER SOLUTIONS FOR DISASTER RELIEF   Over the years, we have seen a series of natural disasters of all kinds affect the lives of millions of people. Fromm Typhoons to volcanoes, mudslides to hurricanes, nature has a way of testing humanity. Despite these tests, we see communities rise again and again to help their neighbors get back on their feet. The list of needs grows long and fast when disaster hits. While many of the needs may seem obvious, like housing for those displaced, food, and fresh drinking water, many everyday needs may go unnoticed until the need is urgent. We have found this to be a common issue with restroom and shower trailers. Many of us take advantage of those small, daily amenities, like the ability to use restrooms and showers whenever we want to. We’ve realized the importance of working fast to ensure that those in need can still appreciate these small, everyday amenities. As volunteer groups and organizations get to work, we are right behind them, providing restroom and shower trailers. When Florida area organizations reached out shower trailers, we were quick to respond.   AIDING FLORIDA COMMUNITIES WITH SHOWER TRAILERS   We had a wide inventory of shower trailers for relief organizations to choose from. After we analyzed their need while also considering their budget restrictions, we were quick to suggest many shower trailer solutions.  We provided them with was the 2012 Preowned 3 Station Portable Combo Restrooms / Shower Trailer.

Hurricane Michael has become the third most intense hurricane to ever hit the Atlantic Coast . With over $6 billion in damages, those living and running businesses in the affected areas have seen so much destruction. As a leading provider for portable restroom and shower trailer rentals, we are proud that we have been able to partner with organizations who provide relief for those who need it. We have worked all up and down the Atlantic coast, providing restroom, laundry, and shower trailer rentals to those who have been displaced and are without those luxuries that we often take for granted. Churches and relief organizations who take people in have appreciated are timely response to their needs, and we are always eager to step in and aid as quickly as possible. As the hurricane subsided and cities began running again, many businesses hoped to open their doors and operate again, only to realize that they also don’t have these everyday amenities that are needed for staff throughout the day. Companies that provide garbage pick-up, provide energy and electricity, and gas are often needed immediately. In order to serve their cities, many companies like these needed shower trailer rentals for staff that would work around the clock. One company, Duke Energy, came to us with an urgent need. In order to get up and running so that electricity could be restored in their city, they needed shower trailer rentals to ensure that their workers were well taken care of during long hours of work. A LEADING ELECTRICITY PROVIDER Duke Energy is the largest electric power holding companies in the United States, providing electricity to 7.6 million retail customers in six states. We have approximately 49,500 megawatts of electric generating capacity in the Carolinas, the Midwest and Florida – and natural gas distribution services serving more than 1.6 million customers in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas. Without Duke, many businesses would not have the electricity needed to operate. When Hurricane Michael hit Florida, causing expensive and unforeseen damage, they needed to act fast to help the majority of businesses in the area get the service they needed to operate again. SHOWER TRAILER RENTALS FOR HARD-WORKING EMPLOYEES Given the extreme circumstances, we knew we had to think fast and come up with shower trailer rentals that could service these employees. They needed a durable temporary solution that could easily service a high volume of users, and they needed it fast.

During the month of September, our thoughts and prayers were constantly with those who were affected by the devastating Hurricane in North Carolina. We personally have employees who live near the damage, and we knew that given the opportunity to help, we would jump to service those in need. Our greatest support came when we delivered a shower trailer rental to the hard hit City of New Bern, North Carolina. Over the few weeks following the hurricane, we worked nonstop to provide restroom, laundry, and shower trailer rentals to communities and organizations who needed them. We partnered with new companies and organizations and donated as much of our product as we could. During our work with hurricane relief, we worked with a church in the city of New Bern. Despite the damage done all over the coast of North Carolina, New Bern seemed to see some of the worst damage of all. The town was completely flooded for days - the damage done has been irreversible in most cases, and many homeowners and business owners are going to have to rebuild from the ground up. When the storm hit initially, hundreds of residents needed rescuing and many more would be saved over the following few days. A recent estimate stated that over 4300 homes and 300 businesses were ruined. Record-breaking floods persisted for days, even weeks, after the storm hit, making damages to buildings worse and the work that organizations were doing to provide relief that much harder. As the waters began to fall, hope persisted and recovery began. We are proud to work with the organizations who rushed to New Burn to provide aid in any way they could. Volunteers went out searching for those who needed saving, the city worked tirelessly to get power back on, and programs like the trash and recycling services were back up and running to help residents clean things up. Those providing aid for the community realized that, in order to properly service those affected, there were a few amenities they lacked. With damage done to the water and sewer lines, there was no access to showers. We were ready to step in and provide humane shower trailer rentals for organizations looking to address this issue. A SHOWER TRAILER RENTAL SOLUTION FOR AFFECTED RESIDENTS Given the extreme circumstances, we knew we had to think fast and come up with a portable trailer that satisfied the needs of the affected communities. They needed a durable temporary solution that could easily service a high volume of users. We were able to suggest the 8 Station Portable Shower Trailer for Rent, Sierra Series.

When a disaster strikes, you can count on America to step up and help its fellow citizens. From thousands of volunteers who choose to go out and help those in need for free to those who make it a career to protect, serve, and save, this country knows how to unite when facing a crisis. We support our troops with portable restroom rentals and shower trailer rentals for Hurricane Florence. In September of 2018, hundreds of communities were affected by Hurricane Florence. The devastation it caused was not anticipated, and many families and businesses found themselves with very little to come home to. Many struggled to evacuate in time, and sadly, lives were lost. Despite the devastation, hope was not lost. As organizations arrived to help those in need, heroic stories circled the internet, highlighting people who saved animals from drowning, rescued stranded families, and helped to provide shelter for those who had lost everything. While volunteers may temporarily throw themselves into the chaos to aid with disaster relief, there are many who do it for a living. As always, the military was onsite to help citizens in need during the hurricane. They choose to put their lives at risk daily to protect those who need it. When they reached out with a need for a portable restroom rental, we were happy to step up and partner with them.   HEROES AT WORK Of the many communities that were affected by Hurricane Florence, some suffered far more than others. The city of Fayetteville was somewhat unprepared for the damage they would see. When the hurricane initially hit, it seemed as if they aftermath would be mild, but they soon found out differently. Hurricane Florence hit the city, with winds of up to 50 mph. Trees fell and 15 inches of rain were left behind, Then as it passed, left rivers steady riding and the impending threat of severe flooding rose. As recovery efforts began, the military set up temporary bases throughout the area, including in the city of Fayetteville. They began aiding those who had evacuated and hoped to return, those who needed aid, and more. The troops worked tirelessly to not only get those in danger to safety, but to ensure that those rescued felt a sense of safety and security once they were assisted. While the troops were hard at work, they may not have thought about those basic amenities needed to live day to day comfortably. Long hours on search and rescue missions, wading through flooding, and other strenuous jobs took their toll. Fortunately they thought of us as a quick, temporary portable restroom rental solution, and we were eager to make sure that our soldiers were well taken care of.   PORTABLE RESTROOM RENTAL SOLUTION FOR OUR TROOPS Knowing that we not only needed to provide a reliable restroom option for our troops, but also wanted to make them feel appreciated for their service, we recommended the upscale 6 Station Portable Restroom Rental, Comfort Cabo Series. This 16 foot portable restroom rental is equipped for moderate use with a 430 gallon waste take and 85 gallon fresh water tank. The exterior is cleanly designed and sturdy, built to take on the most uncomfortable of weather climates. Each suite has safe aluminum steps and a handrail for guided access. Visitors will also find ample lighting for safe access no matter what time, day or night. As visitors enter the suites, they’ll find a women's suite with three stalls and a men's suite with one stall and two urinals. Each stall is protected by ¾ height privacy walls, and walls are also provided for additional privacy at urinals. The entire portable restroom rental is equipped with non-slip flooring, flushing toilets, and a sink vanity with a shatterproof mirror. The entire unit also features air conditioning and heat strips in order to maintain a comfortable interior temperature no matter what outside weather may be like. These strips can easily increase or decrease the temperature of the unit when necessary, ensuring that guests have a comfortable experience. PORTABLE SHOWER RENTAL OPTION FOR RELIEF While a restroom is an amenity that quickly comes to mind, many forget that after working long hours in rough weather, the need for a shower is likely to arise. Fortunately, we at Portable Restroom Trailers have a wide variety of trailer rental options, including shower rentals. For our troops, we recommended the Commercial Grade Portable Shower Trailer for Rent. This large rental is prepared for high volume use.
