PODS Prepares For Hurricane Season

PODS Enterprises, Inc., is preparing for what experts predict will be an above-average hurricane season in 2010.

PODS has ordered 2,000 additional storage containers from manufacturer Wabash National’s DuraPlate® Products Group to further increase the company’s ability to assist communities in a disaster. Since 2005, PODS has mobilized over 20,000 containers to aid in recovery and rebuilding efforts in communities affected by emergency situations.

According to the U.S. Weather Service, forecasters predict that weather events during the Atlantic Ocean hurricane season in 2010, June 1 to Nov. 30, will be higher and more severe than normal due to this year’s El Niño conditions.

The 12-foot and 16-foot containers have been tested to withstand winds of more than 110-mph when partially loaded.
