The Role of Generators in Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Response

There are a number of scenarios in which the use of Diesel power generators play an important role. The ability to quickly deploy them allows for swift responses to an emergency or natural disaster.
Emergency preparedness is a topic hospitals and specific businesses concern themselves with. In a hospital, a sudden disruption of power can have life-threatening consequences. Similarly, businesses depending on uninterrupted supply of electricity may require a back-up generator. For instance, cold chain warehouses can have a back-up generator in place, kicking in the moment the power from the grid cuts, ensuring that the temperature in the warehouse is kept.
When a disaster strikes, it can happen anywhere and anytime. There is no way one can predict where a natural disaster may occur. Or what type of equipment is required to address the consequences of the event. In any case, most likely tools and equipment requiring electricity will need to be deployed. In this case, the preparedness to address the issue lies in the speedy delivery of Diesel-powered generators to areas affected by the disaster after it struck.
In both cases, Contmark recommends to scenario-plan these situations. In anticipation of an unwanted event, one can address the needs that may arise, allowing for the correct type and size of generator to be made available.
Whatever the case of the power outage may be, to be prepared for such incident requires that the power generators are maintained and serviced with outmost care. Contmark knows what is at stake when such equipment is needed and that human lives depend on the generators working without a hitch. And no matter what equipment is required to address an emergency or situation arising from a disaster, even the most sophisticated tools won’t work without power. Hence, one cannot stress the importance of generators in these scenarios.
