THE PROBLEM

What the day looks like

In the first days after a disaster, roads are cut, the water system may be down and the grid is out. Bottled water and fuel come in by truck, and the trucks are slow to reach the hardest-hit blocks.

Crews and families need safe water, a phone charge and a way to report in long before services come back.

HOW RALLY POINT HELPS

Water, power and shelter

Featured product: Squad Rally Point

WATER

Water

Rated up to 38 L a day*, with 150 L stored (design capacity) and treatment designed to EPA primary standards.

POWER

Power

800 W of fold-out solar and 10.24 kWh of LiFePO4 battery storage charge radios, phones and lights.

SHELTER AND AID

Shelter and aid

A sealed bay holds first-aid supplies. The shelter kit and light mast make a lit, covered aid point.

COMMUNICATIONS

Communications

Satellite internet ready, with satellite messaging and a 406 MHz beacon for places with no cell signal.

Full water rating off the grid: the solar wing array adds panels rated at 3 kW, the power the 38 L a day rating assumes when there is no AC.

Add-on modules: O3 Solar wing array (MSRP $10,600)

Shelter and light: a canopy with walls and a telescoping light tower for a night aid station.

Add-on modules: O5 Shelter kit (MSRP $1,600), O8 LED light mast (MSRP $4,100)

DEPLOYMENT SCENARIO

How a deployment runs

  1. Before: stage the units

    Units wait charged and full at a staging yard, ready to load on a truck or a helicopter sling.

  2. Day one: set the site

    A crew drops the unit at a shelter or point of distribution. Design target for setup is 15 minutes or less.

  3. Week one: run quiet

    It runs on sun while the crew hands out water and charges radios.
