689-284-0047Introduction
United Site Services (USS) is uniquely positioned to meet the demands of hurricane season with speed, precision, and care. Backed by a nationwide network, strategically placed resources, and a team of trained professionals, we're able to mobilize quickly and deliver critical support where it's needed most. From pre-storm planning to on-the-ground response and post-storm recovery, our approach is built to help communities weather the worst-and recover stronger.
How We Prepare For Hurricane Season
Our goal is to ensure continuity of service, protect assets, and provide rapid response when storms strike. Preparation starts well in advance:
- Hosting annual hurricane readiness meetings with coastal customers.
- Collaborating with company project managers to review site-specific plans.
- Providing guidance on how to properly secure units before storms hit.
- Strategically placing equipment in safe locations to allow quick access post-storm.
- Ensuring all USS branches are stocked with extra generators, water, and mobile command centers for emergency deployment.
Immediate Response to Names Hurricanes
The Rose Bowl presents unique logistical challenges due to its size, the volume of attendees, and the fast-paced nature of event turnovers, especially during the college football season. Key issues include:
- Deploying mobile command centers equipped with satellite systems to ensure continuous operation and communication.
- Supporting disaster relief camps capable of housing 500 to 2,500 people within 24 hours, providing essential services such as showers, fresh water, and sanitary needs.
- USS technicians and team members will live on site with first responders and hurricane survivors to ensure there is always fresh water and ensure there is no disruption to service needs, fewer discrepancies.
Team Readiness
Our team members are highly trained and prepared to respond at a moment's notice. Key aspects of our readiness include:
- Monitoring and tracking potential storms seven days out.
- Packing bags and preparing equipment in advance to deploy as soon as a storm is named.
- Utilizing our extensive network of trailer hubs and local branches to mobilize assets quickly.
- Team members carry burner phones to ensure they can stay in touch even if cell towers are down.
- We have a dedicated emergency response team that operates independently from our local branch team, ensuring that our usual customer services are not impacted by a storm.
Adaptability And Strategic Deployment
No hurricane is the same, and USS excels in adapting to changing situations:
- Our team is capable of pivoting and relocating camp restroom equipment as needed, such as moving all materials from one location to another 25 miles away within hours.
- Deploying 3,000-7,000 pieces of equipment, including toilets, sinks, handicap accessible and water tanks, to meet the needs of affected areas.
- Placing trucks on barges to reach remote areas, ensuring support is provided even in the most challenging conditions.
