Our inventory is vast and can be used for any of your organization’s projects, from food and water distributions, creating cooling centers for heat relief, mucking and gutting flooded properties, providing electricity to single-family residences, and so much more. When you pre-order your response tools before hurricane season, we will have all your needed supplies ready 3-5 days before expected landfall.
