DROUGHT AND DISASTER RELIEF, EMERGENCY, AND MILITARY WATER
SUPPLIES
During times of natural catastrophe whether it be drought in Russia or
along the North American East Coast, flooding in Mozambique, hurricane damage in
Central America, arsenic contamination in Bangladesh, earthquakes in Turkey, the recent
typhoon disaster in Guam, or even military actions such as Desert Storm or humanitarian
work in refugee camps or destruction caused by war as in Bosnia, safe drinking water
supplies are commonly disabled or almost non-existent.
WaterBank® is the largest focal point for the
bottled water industry. We have the ability not only to locate bottled water and
bulk water supplies nearby and on a national and international scale but we have the
ability to locate it near the disaster to minimize transport costs. In some cases,
wells may be available to provide water.
WaterBank® in conjunction with Charter
Services of Albuquerque, New Mexico has the ability to locate heavy lift aircraft for
immediate shipment of palletized and containerized bottled water.
In the case of the December 11, 2002 supertyphoon disaster in Guam, WaterBank®
identified sources of water in Australia, Fiji, and Eastern Russia and we identified
Ukranian heavy lift aircraft with the ability to move the water at a time when heavy lift
aircraft in the United States were entirely committed to carrying Christmas toys for Santa
Claus.
Potential clients will include national and international disaster
assistance agencies, including fire fighting organizations, as well as the military, both
domestic and foreign, with stockpiling capabilities.
