Disaster-risk areas should have immediate access to emergency routes and protocols. The most crucial response for those affected by the calamity is providing shelter with food, water, electricity, and clothing supplies. Portable shelters have the best design for disaster risk management, which can be transported to a suitable site and be readily set up in the least amount of time.

Shipping containers are manufactured to get transported across countries under harsh weather conditions. They are utilized by many different industries to store non-perishable products shipped as cargos for extended periods. At times, they are sent to less accessible places.

The Western Shelter Mobility department is constantly figuring out new ways to better serve our customers and improve our products. Sometimes, adding small custom details to a specific product can make a big difference in the field.

The functions of medical tents are highly beneficial for trained and specializing professionals providing treatment for people with illness, injury, or disease, especially during disasters, emergencies, and extremely alarming medical situations.

Shipping containers are steadily gaining in popularity as a sustainable housing and sheltering option. With millions of cargo containers being used worldwide, the possibilities for expanding this innovative housing option may well only continue to grow.

Medical tents associate several cost variables that satisfy strict quality assurance, meaning that they should have the right features to cater to the needs of patients and healthcare workers to ensure that the treatments are effectively administered in a safe area. Portable medical tent shelters are most commonly used as testing sites, where medical teams can screen injuries or illnesses that should be isolated.

The Polaris Project has been researching the global climate since 2008, and each year prior to 2017 traveled to the Siberian Arctic. Last year, the project relocated to the Yukon River Delta in Alaska and began its use of Western Shelters. The group is composed of several researchers from the Woods Hole Research Center and students from various universities around the country. The group lives on site for two weeks, spending days measuring the amount of ancient carbon locked in the soil.

Providing complete, turnkey solutions is one of our specialties. Western Shelter designs and produces custom camps fit to serve our customers’ needs, large and small. A great example of a complete camp solution recently was sent to the Nuevo León Protección Civil team in Monterrey, Mexico.

Every fire season, Western Shelters can be seen dotting the landscape around the western states. We got our start as a business providing our shelters to fire camps in the Pacific Northwest, and this week we had the opportunity to visit one of those camps. 

While the media coverage has gone away, the recovery process in Puerto Rico is far from over. Many medical facilities were damaged or rendered inoperable by Hurricane Maria, creating dangerous gaps in the island's healthcare system.

Fire season always brings us back to our roots here at Western Shelter. The company was founded in 1988 to offer a more sustainable solution for wildland fire camps. While we have grown significantly since then, protecting firefighters and incident commanders is still a core component of our mission.

Western Shelter Mobility offers a wide variety of mission focused trailer builds, with Firefighter Rehab Trailers being one of our most popular product lines. Most of these rehab units are sold through our sister brand, CrewBoss PPE, and are available in standard sizes ranging from 10 to 20 feet. 

In April of 2015 a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal, killing nearly 9,000 people and injuring 22,000 more. The earthquake's impact was compounded by Nepal's mountainous and rural nature, making aid delivery extremely difficult. Western Shelter is always up for a challenge, so when the US Department of Justice called us to assist the Nepalese Police we were ready to jump into action.
