What is the role of portable restrooms during emergencies such as hurricanes?

When a natural disaster hits a community, you don’t want to compound the problem by allowing a bathroom emergency also to occur. 

But unfortunately, when a major event like a hurricane happens, people are forced to evacuate from their homes, and the bathrooms they usually depend on are no longer available. They may have nowhere to go, with no friends, relatives, or neighbors available to let them have some shelter and a safe place to use the restroom. But when you have to go, there is no option to just hold it in.

When you gotta' go, you gotta' go. And in some school buildings, it's not necessarily easy to go.

There are numerous situations where schools may require extra temporary bathrooms from time to time - and it's crucial to have a solution ready to deploy when necessary. In this post, we'll discuss why mobile restroom trailers make for that ideal solution.

The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus that’s responsible for COVID-19 infections is causing all kinds of changes in our daily routines, to be sure. People have to maintain social distancing as much as possible. At the same time, it’s more important than ever to provide a place where individuals can wash their hands.

In many cases, they need access to more portable bathroom facilities to accommodate business needs as well as requirements to shelter in place, during quarantine.

In the day and age of extreme concern about the spread of contagious viruses, there’s never been a stronger need for proper sanitation. However, the average portable restroom isn’t equipped to meet those needs. Many feature a ‘receiving’ hole and you’re lucky if there’s a square to spare in the toilet paper holder.

Major construction projects require a good number of man-hours, and when people on the job need to clean up or handle their ‘business,’ having appropriate facilities nearby is essential. Whether your construction workers are busy with a brand new development or assisting with a commercial remodeling job, an onsite portable restroom will help minimize costs and maximize efficiency. Here are some long-term construction projects that will certainly have workers appreciating the presence of a necessary room right onsite.
