Sanitation utilities must be equipped to protect their personnel, maintain operations, and restore service quickly during and after emergencies. This requires strategic planning, resilient systems, and having the right tools on hand. Connect with the expert team at Total Prepare to discuss your requirements for sanitation facility emergency supplies.

Headquartered in Victoria, British Columbia, we understand the unique hazards faced by sanitation teams across the country – from ice storms and flooding in Ontario, to seismic risks in British Columbia, and extreme cold in the Prairies.

Protecting Field Crews During Crisis Conditions 

Sanitation crews often respond in hazardous and unpredictable environments – working around raw sewage, contaminated floodwaters, confined spaces, and broken infrastructure. Keeping them safe, nourished, and operational is essential. We offer purpose-built kits for mobile crews, including: 

• Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MREs): These self-contained, high-calorie food packets are specifically designed to provide quick, nutritious, hot meals in the field, without the need for cooking facilities or extensive preparation. 

• Compact Food Rations: Long-lasting and able to withstand extreme conditions, these bars provide three days’ worth of calories per pack – ideal for grab-and-go kits or extended deployments. 

• Personal First Aid Kits to ensure that aid is at your fingertips when you need it. 

• Temporary Shelter and Warming Solutions: From emergency bivies, mylar blankets, hand warmers and more, we can protect workers from the cold, wind and rain when working long shifts in unpredictable environments. 

• Vehicle Emergency Kits: When travelling to and working in remote and flood-prone areas, our car kits can protect personnel and vehicles in the event of a breakdown, storm or accident. 

Strengthening Operational Resilience, Behind the Scenes 

Emergency preparedness extends far beyond the field. Control rooms, treatment plants, and administrative facilities all need to be equipped for sustained operation in adverse scenarios. Some of our solutions include: 

• Bulk Emergency Food and Water Storage Systems: Whether you’re preparing for an office of five employees or a workplace of hundreds, we can keep all staff fed and hydrated with our selection of 25-year freeze-dried food and flexible water solutions. 

• Workplace Shelter-in-Place Kits: When in lockdown mode or providing long-term support to field crews, our convenient workplace kits contain all the equipment needed to support your team in the event of an emergency. Contents include food and water, light and communication, shelter and warmth, survival tools, sanitation, and first aid. 

• Comprehensive First Aid Kits: Created in compliance with Provincial Occupational Health and Safety regulations, containing supplies to address any injuries from minor cuts to serious emergencies, and adaptable to meet any level of risk and distance to medical facilities.  

• Group Lodging Solutions: When responding to a major, long-term event, temporary lodging may be established to support employees stationed in the field or working overtime during emergencies. We are capable of delivering any quantity of cots, bedding, and even tents to disaster-struck areas in Canada with little to no notice. 

• Equipment for Emergency Operations Centers: Whether its dynamic identification vests, triage tags, personal supply kits, emergency lighting, multi-purpose radios, or anything in between – Total Prepare can help. 

• Employee Purchasing Program: We offer discounts to a wide range of industry employees and volunteers, not only as a token of gratitude for the invaluable services they provide, but to facilitate individual resilience and the peace of mind that comes with knowing their families and homes are prepared, so staff are better equipped to serve their communities in times of crisis.
