As experts warn of one of the most intense hurricane, storm, and wildfire seasons on record, it’s crucial to recognize the profound impact natural disasters can have on families and caregivers. When these emergencies strike, they damage infrastructure and wreak havoc on communities, severely disrupting the ability of caregivers to care for loved ones. Roads become impassable, communication lines are cut, and power outages can last for days or even weeks–and navigating those challenges can make caregiving exponentially more difficult. Wellthy is dedicated to ensuring families have the support they need to manage their care before, during, and after weather emergencies and disasters. In our latest blog post, we explore how Wellthy’s Care Team offers vital assistance when weather or climate emergencies strike–including how our team stepped up in response to Hurricane Beryl and other recent storms affecting the Houston area. As Wellthy Care Manager Stefany Pettinger says, “The Wellthy team was prepared to step in and help Houstonians prior to Hurricane Beryl making landfall. Then, throughout the storm, we continued to put together a robust database of community resources, shelters, food banks, cooling shelters, volunteer clean up organizations, and step-by-step directions to reach out to FEMA and other essential services.” Learn more about how Wellthy steps in to ensure families have the resources they need to care for themselves and their loved ones in the aftermath of severe weather and natural disasters here: https://lnkd.in/e8Exkx5t

When a hurricane strikes, emergency response is critical. Discover how portable restroom trailers can provide vital sanitation solutions during hurricane recovery efforts in 2024. Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida are prime targets for hurricanes from the Gulf of Mexico. Potty Girl provides essential restroom trailers in the event of an emergency. Ever wondered what happens when nature unleashes its fury, and a hurricane leaves a trail of destruction? It's not just about picking up the pieces. There's a hidden hero in the world of disaster relief that doesn't get enough credit: portable restroom trailers. Let's chat about why these mobile toilets are lifesavers when everything else goes down the drain (pun intended!). Picture this: a hurricane's just blown through town. Power's out, water's contaminated, and regular bathrooms? Forget about it. This is where our unsung heroes roll in. Portable restroom trailers swoop in to save the day, providing a clean and safe place for people to do their business when nothing else is working. But why are these trailers such a big deal? Well, for starters, they're not your average porta-potties. Our restroom trailers are equipped with flushing toilets, sinks, and air conditioning. Talk about a relief in a disaster! Plus, they can handle a lot of traffic and are perfect for busy relief camps or temporary shelters. Here's the thing: when disaster strikes, keeping things clean isn't just about comfort. It's a serious health concern. Without proper facilities, diseases can spread like wildfire. That's why these bathroom trailers are so crucial. They help keep everyone healthy when healthcare systems are stretched thin. But it's not all about physical health. Having a clean, private place to use the bathroom can be a real mood booster in tough times. It might seem small, but it gives people a sense of normalcy and dignity when everything else feels chaotic. So, next time you hear about emergency response efforts, spare a thought for the restroom trailer. Contact Potty Girl because it is our priority to keep communities safe and healthy after a hurricane. Who knew portable toilets could be such heroes?

Tropical Storm Debby Ravages the Eastern U.S., Leaving a Trail of Destruction Introduction Welcome To Akhbaarwaala Tropical Storm Debby has unleashed chaos across the eastern United States, leaving communities from Florida to Vermont grappling with its devastating impacts. Originally making landfall as a Category 1 hurricane on Florida's Gulf Coast, Debby has since weakened into a tropical storm. However, it continues to bring torrential rains, deadly tornadoes, and severe flooding, resulting in at least seven confirmed deaths and widespread damage. Debby’s Journey Across the States After making its initial landfall in Florida on Monday, Debby lost some strength, downgrading to a tropical storm. However, this did not diminish its capacity to cause destruction. The storm made a second landfall early Thursday morning near Bulls Bay, South Carolina, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (80 kph). Debby’s slow progression has allowed it to absorb moisture from the Atlantic Ocean, which has only amplified the heavy rainfall, raising significant concerns about flash floods, particularly in mountainous regions of Virginia and West Virginia. Catastrophic Impact in the Carolinas South Carolina and North Carolina bore the brunt of Debby’s wrath as it pushed inland. In North Carolina, the storm triggered multiple tornadoes overnight, wreaking havoc in Wilson County. One tornado touched down in Lucama, tragically killing one person and damaging at least four homes, a church, and a school. The small community was left reeling as emergency services scrambled to respond to the devastation. Theresa Richardson, a resident of Lucama, described the terrifying moment when she, her husband, and their granddaughter took shelter in a closet as the tornado ripped through their neighborhood. The nearby Springfield Middle School suffered severe damage, with parts of the roof and walls of the 6th and 7th-grade halls completely destroyed. Wilson County Schools Superintendent Lane Mills expressed his heartbreak at the sight of the damaged school, which will undoubtedly impact the community for months to come. Further south, in the town of Bladenboro, residents faced catastrophic flooding as up to 3 feet (91 centimeters) of floodwaters inundated the area overnight. Town officials and residents worked tirelessly in the dark to fill sandbags and protect homes and businesses. By morning, standing water was still several feet deep in some areas, causing significant damage to infrastructure and homes. Flooding and Tornadoes Extend Northward As Debby continued its march up the East Coast, it brought heavy rainfall to Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, with predictions of additional rain as the storm moved further north. Communities in Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania were placed on high alert for flash floods as rivers swelled, and the ground, already saturated from previous storms, struggled to absorb the deluge. In Georgia’s Bulloch County...

Hurricanes, extreme temperatures, wildfires, tornadoes, and earthquakes each pose catastrophic threats. As these disasters worsen and occur more frequently, local responders are learning how to prepare their neighbors and safeguard community health. Each year, Direct Relief stages caches of emergency medicine in locations across the United States that are vulnerable to hurricanes, and gathers information and wisdom from health facilities that opened these hurricane prep packs during or after the tropical storm season. https://lnkd.in/d2c3kJTZ

Is there any question that a deliverable that is higher quality, safer and faster to deliver is better in an emergency? No... So why is it that the construction industry is so slow to adopt this fact?
President & CEO Impresa Modular | Impresa Modular Franchising | Impresa Homes | Impresa Modular Pro | Impresa Realty | I-Media Group
A series of brutal weather events that have pounded the Midwest and Texas has caused death and destruction since April. Over the weekend it turned once again to Texas and overnight more death and destruction occurred. So far, 2024 has been particularly bad for extreme weather, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), with droughts, extreme heat, and floods causing severe damage to health and livelihoods. It’s not only the frequency and intensity that you usually hear about, but it’s also the changes in timing and duration of these extremes. We no longer know what is normal in the climate, because we see an increasing trend of extreme events. In the last 25 years, there are four devastating storms that come to mind for most: Hurricane Andrew in Florida, Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, Superstorm Sandy in New Jersey/New York, and Hurricane Ian in Florida. Each of these storms has tested the people that were affected and tested the nation in supporting them. Hurricane Andrew, in 1992, set in motion a series of events that brought homes built using modular construction to the forefront. FEMA created and published a key study that determined modular homes weathered that storm better than their site-built counterparts. This finding propelled modular homes into a key position for future disaster recovery efforts. Building on the lessons learned from previous large disasters, modular homes will be at the forefront in the rebuilding efforts. Texas has a “get it done” attitude and the people there have strong community ties. As conclusively demonstrated by Superstorm Sandy, modular homes can be the key to recovery. With flexible design and strong construction, modular homes can be delivered at a value that will be hard to match in the disaster-stricken area. The FEMA report after Hurricane Andrew propelled modular homes into a key position for future recovery efforts. Not only will those affected by the severe weather recover faster; a better, stronger home will be protecting them from the next storm. Hopefully, they will never experience going through the same devastation again!
