Altitude Water Amplifies Importance of Proactive Hurricane Preparation with One-of-a-Kind Disaster Relief Trailer
“Right now, predictions for this season are thankfully pointing towards a slightly below-average season, a relief during a time where support from organizations like FEMA is rapidly declining. However, that doesn’t mean people should become complacent as we all know you cannot predict Mother Nature,” explained Jeff Szur, Altitude Water’s Founder and CEO who was a recent judge at Disasters Expo Miami, an annual event that brings together industry leaders, government agencies, first responders, suppliers, and professionals devoted to addressing the challenges brought on by disaster situations.
“At any time, these storms can take a turn for the worst, bypassing expectations and causing tragedy- loss of life, loss of resources, and loss of shelter. We need to, now more than ever, look after one another, and that includes devising community-driven plans as well as developing direct solutions. Our DRT will be on stand-by throughout the season, ready to head into action to help those in need as we continue using our platform to amplify our message.”
Altitude’s DRT is a powerful machine that was documented helping victims of 2024’s Hurricane Helene across Florida and North Carolina. The state-of-the-art trailer is capable of providing pure drinking water, solar power energy, cell service, and internet service, addressing initial recovery steps while preparing people for what’s to come next. Complete with industry-leading AWGs, the trailer can produce up to 210 gallons of water daily from humidity in the air, limiting need for environmentally-damaging plastic water bottles while ensuring quality and safe consumption.
Beyond their work during hurricane season, Altitude Water was recently honored by Prestige Awards as ‘Sustainable Water Company of the Year,’ a title highlighting the company’s continued commitment to ending water scarcity and providing clean water globally. Jeff Szur is also part of the quarter finals for this year’s ‘Entrepreneur of Impact’ competition hosted by Entrepreneur Magazine, with the water tech innovator vowing to donate the full $25,000 prize to nonprofit partners. A $10,000 commitment, as part of this competition, is committed to providing solar power to run the AWGs operating in Tierra Bomba, Colombia in connection with Calvary Christian Academy (which is affiliated with Calvary Chapel and Calvary Christian Academy in the USA, Jeff’s home church as well as Healing Hands of Hope Charities).
With machines manufactured by the team at Altitude placed in over 70 countries, Altitude has built an image of support not only for non-profits, but businesses seeking improved efficiency regarding water access. In addition, Altitude believes residential neighborhoods and everyday homeowners should come together to share in the water freedom the T12 will offer them. It is these demographics often decimated by disasters like hurricanes, highlighting the need for increased advocacy and preparation.
“Addressing national, and even global, needs are far from easy, though it is incredibly rewarding,” added Szur. “Our team is honored for the opportunity to help at-risk populations while utilizing our constantly-growing reach to educate people on water safety, accessibility, and disaster preparation. We may not be able to remove hurricanes from existing, but we CAN improve our responses and ability to be ready for whatever may happen. We believe a T12 should be a part of everyone’s hurricane toolbox.”
