Throughout the last several weeks, our team has been monitoring Hurricane Dorian in the event the storm caused massive damage. Unfortunately, that became the reality as the storm wreaked havoc on the Bahamas and in regions off the coast of the Carolinas.

Summer operations often take place in locations with intense heat and baking sun. Operations in the fall run often experience the first of the rainy season. Sometimes, a bit of shade or cover is all that’s needed if it’s not too hot or cold, but you just need to get out of the elements.

A few Western Shelters made their way to the Oregon State Capitol recently for a continuation exercise. The Oregon Judicial Department set these GateKeepers and trailer with boot connector up on the steps of the capitol, and ran mock court sessions inside the shelters.

Throughout history, field medicine has served an important role in the military, disaster response, aid efforts, and more. As technology has evolved, providing hospital level care while in remote regions has become a possibility. At Western Shelter, we create field hospitals that do their best to mimic the care you would find in any hospital around the globe.

The Disc-O Bed is a modular, lightweight bunk option for deployments looking to save space while maximizing comfort. These bunks fold up completely flat and assemble in minutes, providing sleeping space, storage space, and additional organization.

This project was a full, turnkey U.N. Standard Level II Field Hospital. Western Shelter provided 12 standard sized containers, 9 GateKeeper 1935s, 2 GateKeeper 20s, 11 GateKeeper Vestibules, and all included components. Training lasted several weeks and involved multiple steps.
