A disaster strikes-- a flood, hurricane, tornado etc.— and you’re left looking at a pile of broken wood and rubble with your belongings scattered amongst them. Now what? After the initial clean up and recovery, it still might take families months to begin repairing or rebuilding their homes. And in the meantime, any belongings they managed to recover have to be shoved into the garages of friends and family, stored in expensive storage containers, or, at worst, left exposed to the elements and looters. 

During the recovery from Hurricane Katrina, we realized the severity of this need and came up with a solution. Volunteers pre-assemble shed components at our headquarters in Noblesville, IN. Then, when disaster strikes, we’re able to quickly ship and build sheds, providing homeowners with safe, dry places to store their belongings. 

Recovery from a disaster is always a slow process. But sheds can give homeowners a sense of safety and security as they start to put their lives back together.
