THE PROBLEM

What the day looks like

When a storm or heat wave takes the grid down, city water pressure can drop and boil notices go up. Stores run out of bottled water in hours.

Older neighbors and families with small children need water and a phone charge close to home.

DEPLOYMENT SCENARIO

How a deployment runs

  1. Before

    A church, HOA or city keeps a unit charged and full in a garage or lot.

  2. Grid down

    Roll it to the curb and open the wings. Neighbors come to fill jugs and charge phones.

  3. Back up

    When power returns, top off the tanks and park it for the next one.
