Hurricanes Gustav and Ike
On September 1, 2008, Hurricane Gustav hit the gulf coast. Two weeks later, Hurricane Ike followed with more devastating force. Because of SSI’s proven disaster response capabilities, our organization was again called to action.
As the relief efforts grew, five SSI crews were sent across the disaster area: Memphis, TN; New Orleans, LA; Lufkin, TX; Houston, TX; San Antonio, TX. Services ranged from set-up of shower trailer complexes at base camps, to delivery and servicing of portable restrooms and handwash stations, to building and maintaining mobile laundry facilities for hurricane victims.
