Wildfire Concerns: Why Sanitation Is So Critical

Evacuations often leave you without a fixed bathroom for long periods. This quickly turns a lack of proper sanitation into a serious problem:
- Increased health risks: Unresolved toileting issues cause rapid bacterial growth, infections, and disease. This harms both individuals and public health.
- Loss of Dignity: Basic hygiene helps maintain psychological comfort and dignity during a disaster. Failing to meet bodily needs causes immense stress and discomfort.
- Environmental Pollution: Improper or quick waste disposal can pollute the environment, especially natural areas.
Given these urgent needs, simply "having" a bathroom isn't enough; you need a better solution.
