Premier environmental and emergency response solutions from the industry leader
As a proven leader in environmental solutions, US Ecology offers premier emergency response with nationwide coverage from hundreds of response locations. Its professional and highly specialized crews are on standby 24/7 to respond to clean-up needs of hazardous and non-hazardous materials in the aftermath of emergencies including natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, tornados or floods. In preparation for natural disasters, its specialists will develop customized emergency response plans and put protective measures in place to prevent damage to assets and limit operational impact.

Last year’s devastating hurricane Ian left a trail of destruction in its wake and severely affected businesses in Florida, North and South Carolina. The storm dropped large amounts of rain and generated heavy winds and destructive storm surge. This impacted infrastructure with widespread power outages and extensive damage to the electrical grid, making recovery efforts extremely difficult.
US Ecology rapidly mobilized significant assets to support government agencies, retailers, marine vessel operators, manufacturers, service providers, utilities, gas stations, chemical plants, energy providers and other businesses. Its professional crews worked around the clock aiding in the effort to rehabilitate businesses by mitigating oil and hazardous spills, providing emergency lab packs featuring waste characterization of unknown wastes and management and safe, secure disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials.
The effects of Hurricane Ian and other catastrophic events show why preparedness is key to reducing risk and limiting operational impact. Partnering with an experienced emergency response provider to protect your assets is a crucial step, as experts suggest that, due to climate change, natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, tornados and floods will be on the rise in the coming years, not only by number of events but also by intensity.
Investment in disaster preparedness goes a long way
That’s why it is more important than ever to invest in disaster preparedness. The U.N. reports that industry’s financial allocation for emergency response after a disaster strikes is approximately 20 times higher than for prevention and preparedness. US Ecology is reminding communities, residents and businesses to prepare and prevent to protect their assets.
Minimizing interruptions is key to a faster recovery
Business continuity greatly depends on the preparation and emergency planning before a disaster occurs. Minimizing interruptions ensures continued revenue, safety and income for your employees, and ultimately aids in the recovery of surrounding communities by upholding supply chains for necessary products and services.
There are many things business owners can do to prepare, including understanding the risk and what actions to take before, during and after a disaster. Selecting a provider that customizes an emergency response plan that suits the needs of each organization is a critical step in the preparation process.
