Emergency Relief Storage Containers
We at DGS believe the best Emergency response is to
be fully prepared prior to the emergency by having all necessary
supplies at full ready. We designed an Emergency Relief Storage
Container (ERSC) that is lighter and more portable than a
steel shipping container with the same strength and security. From this our
Emergency Storage Containers where born.

Full Description
In the event of an Emergency, the ERSC's can be used to store personal as well as government assets including items that must be kept safe from humidity, hurricane force winds and prevent damage from the same powerful winds and rains potentially saving millions of dollars in damages to medical supplies, business critical supplies, professional and personal belongings or just about anything that needs to be kept dry, safe and made readily available for use. Protecting your assets prevents risk of loss and the pains and anguish of reporting losses and property damage. Our multi-use ERSC's can be used throughout the world aiding in disaster relief efforts and preventative damages normally encountered during times of disaster or crisis.
Uses
Our ERSC's can be used as storage of
emergency relief items and temporary shelters in the event of a
natural disaster or crisis. The ERSC's can stand ready and available
inclusive of contingency supplies in the event of a pending disaster
providing for speedy mobilization and delivery to relief sites
including hurricane, flood, contamination or any other disaster in
the world. The ERSC's can be modified, with additional air conditioned
equipment, to store additional materials such as food staples,
hazardous materials, biohazardous materials including temporary
morgue facilities if required along with many other uses. Other uses
can include long term storage of legal or professional documents,
traffic signs, materials, blankets, water bottles, and much more.
Our ERSC's are
built with several important considerations in mind; durability and
strength, weather resistance and security.
Durability and Strength through proven construction
techniques provides for a 7000lbs capacity and stackable two high
without additional support. A lighter load for upper units allows
the units to be stacked three high. Our weather resistant design
utilizes sweat resistant interiors and tough steel exteriors for 15
year life span. We maximize security with double locking steel
doors.

boom trucks.
