Be Prepared for Natural Disasters
Every year, natural disaster-prone states like Florida, Louisiana, New Orleans, and Texas experience the wrath and aftermath of storms and hurricanes. Strong winds, floods, and heavy rainfall force people out of their homes in search of cover.

Storm Relief and Recovery Challenges
Storms, hurricanes, and other natural disasters can strike hard, ripping homes apart and endangering lives inland. Deaths, people trapped in their homes, massive flooding, major power outages, broken structures, and landslides require organized and prompt emergency responses from rescue and relief to rehabilitation.
Due to the magnitude of weather-related disasters, the damage they leave in their wake requires a strong collaboration between local government emergency departments, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Red Cross, and other local and federal agencies that lead disaster management and risk mitigation.
Displaced families, especially children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities, need to be taken care of and provided with shelters and supplies to keep them safe and well. Before a semblance of normalcy can be regained, issues in evacuation sites must be addressed. As people seek shelter, complications and insufficiencies tend to surface, especially in large-scale disasters. Typical challenges include meeting the needs of evacuees, logistics for relief items, health and sanitation services, and providing a secure environment.
From trauma to the inconvenience of being away from home, post-disaster situations usually have psychological and physical effects like anxiety and sickness. Suddenly having no access to comforts like showers and toilets can add to survivors’ distress.
Thus, portable toilet emergency preparedness should be among the key considerations when planning for disaster preparedness. This is where private service providers like VIP To Go can help agencies meet evacuees’ urgent needs with restroom trailers for disasters. We have partnered with governments and organizations to respond to calls for emergency response restroom trailers anytime disasters strike.
