Jon-Don, a premier supplier of disaster restoration equipment, has initiated a robust response to the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton in Florida. The company has deployed its mobile Disaster Response Unit (DRU) and established a temporary Hurricane Support Center in Sarasota, FL, to facilitate the recovery process. This center is being replenished daily with essential restoration tools such as air movers, dehumidifiers, and antimicrobials, ensuring that contractors have access to the necessary supplies for efficient recovery operations.
Eric Royse, CEO of Jon-Don, highlighted the company's commitment to aiding affected communities. "Our team is dedicated to providing restoration contractors with the tools and support they need during these critical times," Royse stated. The company's Tampa Bay branch is also fully operational, ready to assist local contractors in their recovery efforts.
To guarantee the availability of critical supplies, Jon-Don is leveraging its nationwide distribution network to mobilize millions of dollars worth of inventory. This strategic effort is aimed at preventing shortages and enabling swift access to restoration materials. Contractors are encouraged to place orders promptly to secure the equipment needed for their projects.
The establishment of the temporary support center and the deployment of the DRU underscore Jon-Don's preparedness and rapid response capability in the face of natural disasters. These measures are particularly significant given the increasing intensity and frequency of hurricanes in the southeastern United States. Jon-Don's proactive approach not only aids in the immediate recovery efforts but also sets a precedent for disaster management strategies within the industry.
For further assistance, Jon-Don has created a dedicated Hurricane Restoration Support Page, offering resources and updates for those involved in the recovery process. Jon-Don's efforts exemplify the critical role of private sector entities in disaster recovery, complementing governmental and non-profit initiatives to rebuild and restore affected communities.
