With all the storms that rolled through our part lately, there were many people displaced from their homes… They had portable housing set up everywhere there was level & dry property; Along with the portable housing, they had to have plenty of portable restrooms & portable showers containers.
I would have never guessed how many evacuees there would be, however being part of the emergency team in our area, I took on the job of calling around & getting all the portable restrooms & portable shower containers my buddy and I could get our hands on.
Along with all the water, there was the problem over bacteria that could cause contamination & sickness. There were barrels of fresh drinking water, a portable kitchen to keep food on hand for workers & evacuees, & many other things my buddy and I hadn’t considered. It took less than a week to have everything in site, & my buddy and I a twenty acre fairground ready to take in entire families of evacuees… My associate and I separated families from other families & had enough portable restrooms & portable shower containers, so no one had to wait too long, however with the rain still coming down, my buddy and I didn’t want children waiting outside in the mud, when they needed the restrooms quickly. The children, their mothers, & the elderly were our first concern. When the rain quits coming down, & there is a dry spell in sight, we’ll be helping to get people back into their homes. I have a feeling our portable housing will be in use for several months before all of our guests are back in permanent homes.
