They can't be avoided or controlled – disasters that brew for a while and then unleash their fury, or disasters that strike, without mercy, with little or no notice. Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and fires can result in homes and lives being lost with devastation left in the wake.
For those who find themselves without functioning toilet systems, sanitation becomes a top priority, very quickly – this is where porta-potties make their grand entrance. Though they may humble 'huts' to many people, for those who place an acute concern on toilet availability and keeping disease-causing microbes at bay, they are heroes to the rescue.
One Just Never Knows When Disaster Will Strike
From the 11 inches of rain that fell June 9, 2010 in New Braunfels, Texas to a July 2, 2010 tornado in Hebbronville, Texas where half the town lost power, Texas has seen its share of weather-related devastation, and these two instances are only the tip of the iceberg.
When electricity is lost for a prolonged period of time or if septic/sewer infrastructure is damaged, flushing toilets can quickly become inoperable. Thankfully, porta-potties serve as the ideal 'go-to solution' as an immediate remedy during aid-and-relief efforts. Often, relief shelters can become overwhelmed with victims of disaster, or those same shelters can become uninhabitable due to inclement weather, as well. Again, porta-potties become a very coveted commodity!
Here is an important side-note: If a public sewer or private septic system is flooded, do not try to flush an inside toilet since the toilet will, very likely, overflow. Even if a septic system visually appears to be no longer flooded, the septic tank may have become flooded or filled with debris. This would mean there is, still, a significant risk of a sewage backup when attempting to flush a toilet. Damage of this type can run into tens of thousands of dollars!
