In the worst of times, you need the best of solutions. The next time you need to provide disaster relief, including emergency shelter, consider renting a built-for-purpose shipping container.

To make sure you can get help when you need it, these high-quality, durable, weatherproof and built-for-purpose disaster relief and emergency use shipping containers—like those by Conexwest—are typically available for fast modifications and delivery across the country
Why Shipping Containers Are A Great Choice For Disaster Relief & Emergency Use
Many charity groups, NGOs, and government agencies have long used versatile shipping containers at the sites of environmental disasters—like floods, fires, and hurricanes—and in the wake of other types of emergencies.
Shipping containers are a highly versatile solution that your organization can use to provide temporary shelter to people who have been displaced from their homes, as pop-up medical centers for emergency treatments, and as supply distribution and logistics centers.
Because shipping containers are built to withstand some of the harshest weather conditions, they are highly weather resistant, even in cases of extreme heat or extreme cold. Plus, trusted names in the industry, like Conexwest, fabricate their containers using the highest quality COR-TEN steel with tightly sandwiched layers of foam insulation beneath.
How A Container Can Be Customized To Your Organization’s Needs
The good news is, most big names in the industry are also shipping container fabricators. This means they can rapidly fit out your container to ensure it is as well-suited to your emergency deployment as possible.
This includes custom flooring, walling, windows, personnel doors, and furnishings, as well as other essentials like lighting, plumbing, and HVAC. Full kitchen and bathroom fit-outs are also possible. Given the challenging power needs often present in the wake of a disaster, many also have smart off-grid options like solar panels and generators.
If your organization has pharmaceutical or food storage needs, you’ll find that many companies are also specialists in cold storage solutions.
How Shipping Containers Can Transform Your Response Time
If you’re in the business of needing to help people, fast, you should look for a large maker of shipping containers with a vast national web of pre-built emergency shelter and disaster relief containers. These types of companies also offer an extensive network of specialty trucks to deliver these containers rapidly—whenever and wherever they are needed.
While your organization may prefer to buy your container outright so you always have access to it, many suppliers also offer flexible and affordable rental packages, with no minimum duration required.
When it comes to emergencies and disasters, Conexwest believes that shipping containers are ready to deliver.
