OUR DISASTER RELIEF TENTS CAN HELP
Rapid Response, Field-Tested Solutions When Time is of the Essence
Clearspan tents are designed to handle the things that you may face when dealing with a disaster. In fact, these sturdy, temporary tented structures come with so many benefits you will come to appreciate in an emergency relief situation.
Their heavy duty design allows them to hold up against all types of inclement weather. This includes snow*, ice, rain, intense winds, and others. This is important when it comes to protecting your command centers. Clearspan tents even provide shade from the sun and protection from cold – both of which can cause severe health issues if not addressed. Transparent options allow for natural light, proving to-1 -1be beneficial for spaces with limited power, limited sunlight to work throughout the day, and energy savings.
The sidewalls that come with these disaster relief tents are designed to close tightly, meaning that they can securely store what is inside – while working to keep intruders out. This is necessary for things such as temporary government offices, donation storage or collection centers, eating quarters, or even temporary medical facilities.
Clearspan tents are designed to offer a freely opened space, with no inside poles or other obstructions. In addition, they use a steel base plate for securing them, rather than using rope, guy lines, or other methods of anchoring. In other words, this allows for more tents to be erected side by side, while also reducing the chance of injury or safety hazards.
BENEFITS OF AMERICAN PAVILION TENTS FOR RELIEF
Once in place, the temporary disaster relief tents can begin servicing the community by providing a bit of structure amidst all the chaos. Here are just a few of the many great benefits that can come with seeking a temporary tented structure for your disaster relief needs.
-Control & Command Centers
They can be used as a temporary control and command center. After a disaster strikes, the local government, media outlets, and law enforcement may also find themselves displaced.
It is imperative that these operations get up and running as soon as possible in order to return a bit of normalcy to the community and will prove to be detrimental to the success of re-building.
-Donation Space
The heart of those in our country always seeks to embark on donation collections for those affected by a disaster. However, with so much disarray in a community, where do you safely store all these donated goods?
In addition, where is the government supposed to store everything needed to keep the community safe?
Our tents can be installed in less than one week, and exactly where you need them - onsite and ready to protect.
- Secure Storage: American Pavilion’s clearspan tents can provide secure sidewalls on the tents – allowing the donated items to be stored safely and securely until they can be properly distributed.
- Food Storage Space: This is another basic need that can get taken away when disaster strikes. Setting up temporary dining structures can allow for the cooking, serving, and consuming of food in an organized manner.
- Dry Storage: Temporary facilities commonly store inventory overflow
-Temporary Shelters
Shelter is a basic need that oftentimes gets destroyed in a disaster-situation. Our disaster relief tents can provide temporary shelter for individuals and families for extended periods of time.
These shelters can include short-term housing for those who may have lost everything during a disaster. It can also provide other people or professionals with places to congregate.
-Temporary Hospitals and Medical Facilities
Medical services may be one of the most important – and immediate – needs once a disaster strikes. Even if local hospitals are unaffected by the tragedy, the great influx of those needing medical attention may extend beyond the hospital’s capability.
Setting up emergency triage units in temporary tented structures means that more people will have access to medical attention in a timely manner.
- Patient Screening Facilities: Our tents can serve as patient screening areas before patients enter sterile treatment areas
- Drive Through Clinics: This minimizes contact between hospital staff members and other patients and keeps everyone safe and healthy
- Temporary Shelter: Military-grade structures can serve as shelters for overcrowded hospitals
- Create Sterile Environments: Our HVAC units utilize "Positive" pressure to push all the air outside with up to 100% fresh air delivery so there is no recirculation, which maximizes sterility.
This example is of a drive through hospital examination tent, attached to a temporary medical facility is 9m x 9m with 3m bays (approximate 10' wide bays)

ESSENTIAL TENT ACCESSORIES
Keep in mind that clearspan relief structures are more than just a tent. They can be equipped with raised sub-floors, HVAC climate control systems (heating, ventilation, and air condition), lighting, power outlets, and other critical accessories. All of these accessories are provided by American Pavilion. In addition, other basic necessities can be met with portable restroom trailers, positioned for maximum convenience, safety and crowd control.

However, because you will have so much to handle when a disaster strikes, we encourage government agencies, companies, organizations, and individuals involved with disaster preparedness to begin a dialogue with us now.
