			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Floods are now being predicted again for the spring of 2010 in some regions of the nation due to record snowfalls during the winter season. Compounding the inevitable property damages caused by flooding will be an absence of fresh drinking water as streams, rivers, and lakes become contaminated. You can&#8217;t say for sure where a flood or other disaster may hit, so it is critical that everyone know what to do before drinking the murky, foul-tasting water that&#8217;s left behind. It&#8217;s imperative that you know the steps to water filtration so that you can keep your family safe.</p>
<p>Though commercial companies use industrial devices such as <a href="http://www.separmaticsystems.com/pilot-testing.html" target='_blank'>portable water system</a> equipment to effectively purify water, there are ways you can purify water in your home as well. The very best method to handle contaminated water is as simple as boiling it. Boiling removes almost all of the pathogens and other contaminants in water so that it is safe.  If your water continues to be cloudy after it&#8217;s been boiled, you could filter it through a clean cloth to remove larger particles then store it inside a clean, covered container.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, disaster conditions that require water filtration to begin with often go hand-in-hand with a damaged utilities which means that you won&#8217;t have the ability to boil water. You can try disinfecting the water with the addition of 8 drops of common unscented chlorine bleach to a gallon of water then allowing the water to settle. It&#8217;s still better if after you have allowed the water to settle you filter it through clean cloths until it looks clean.</p>
<p>In addition to the methods of disinfecting water described above, there are a variety of basic filtering devices you can buy to keep on hand for just this type of situation. The easiest of these include filtered drinking straws and sports bottles which permit you to drink almost immediately. Additionally , there are larger machines that will decontaminate several gallons of water daily so that you will have enough for cooking and sanitation as well as drinking. Several family-sized machines can be purchased for under $100.</p>
<p>The human body needs water. That&#8217;s why there are pictures of people in other countries drinking dirty water although they understand it may cause them to become sick. Their bodies just demand it even if there is no <a href="http://separmaticsystems.com/about-us.html" target='_blank'>water filtration companies</a> in sight. Knowing the steps you can utilize to disinfect water should a disaster situation hit your area could mean the difference between life and death for your family. Keeping preparation tools in your home at all times, even if they&#8217;re just bleach and clean rags, is one of the smartest things you can do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When emergencies occur in urban scenarios, the disaster may effect masses of people, but there are still ways for emergency reply groups to get to the area quickly to offer help.  It&#8217;s much more cryptic when disasters hit remote regions of the globe, because there are times that it&#8217;s almost impossible to get folks and supplies into the area fast enough to start offering immediate disaster relief.  Technology, however, is finding ways to make this occur.  By using PureSafe <a href="http://www.separmaticsystems.com/emergency-response-trailers.htm" target='_blank'>emergency mobile water purification</a> systems that can be dropped anywhere by chopper, responders never have to be curbed by ashortage of clean water for drinking, sanitization, and cleaning.  </p>
<p>On occasions when the absence of clean  water becomes critical, PureSafe trailers are simply transportable for fast reply.  In addition, they have been built to provide larger amounts of clean water quicker and less expensively than any kind of bottled water distribution can offer.  These units can be deployed anywhere in the world, either by land or air, without on-site logistics being an issue.  Each unit can supply a sufficient quantity of clean water to care for ten thousand folks each day.  This is truly amazing technology that will saves thousands of lives.  </p>
<p>PureSafe has built it&#8217;s reputation on having the ability to quickly decontaminate any sort of water, including saltwater, under the toughest conditions on earth.  Each system contains a decontamination unit which adds to the flexibility and safety of the system by guaranteeing removal of biological and hydrocarbon-based chemicals that are in the water.  These systems will also provide ozonated water which will self-sterilize and help stop contaminant growth in filters, membranes, pipes, and distribution containers.  </p>
<p>The patented technology employed by PureSafe in all of their mobile water purification systems is designed to surpass the requirements of the stern standards set by the Underwriters lab, the World Health Organization, and the Environmental Protection Agency.  These user-friendly units have self-contained power generators which means they will keep working without needing service for extended amounts of time.  The systems operate on diesel fuel, and one tank full will run the machine for so long as 3 days with no need to be refilled.  </p>
<p>During an emergency, one of the most imperative wishes faced by both victims and emergency responders is clean, fresh water.  Being able to access <a href="http://www.separmaticsystems.com/pilot-testing.html" target='_blank'>portable water filtration</a> through PureSafe trailers quickly in all the parts of the world has made ahuge amount of difference when it comes to saving lives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s just as feasible for folk who live in the biggest metropolitan areas to experience disaster situations as it is for those in more rural settings.  Even though we think about tornadoes in states like Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, it&#8217;s actually possible for them to strike anywhere.  There are many other sorts of emergencies that could easily affect the planet&#8217;s biggest cities.  The sole difference from when they hit in a rural area is that metropolitan areas have millions of people who will need emergency services and care.  </p>
<p>Afine example of this kind of a disaster occurred in New Orleans in 2005.  When Hurricane Katrina struck, there became an instant need for food, shelter, medical care, and safe drinking water.  By bringing in <a href="http://www.separmaticsystems.com/emergency-response-trailers.html" target='_blank'>emergency mobile water purification</a> appliances, it was feasible to provide water for loads of people.  </p>
<p>Emergency mobile water purification units have been developed by many firms to be used in eventualities just like this.  While it may or may not be possible to truck in millions of bottles of water, emergency mobile systems can be air-lifted in if necessary.  In the aftermath of a disaster, travel options are often very limited, so this equipment has been designed to be terribly portable to make it possible to transport it to where it is needed the most fast.  Units like these have been delivered to a couple of the most remote areas on the world and are being used with military troops stationed overseas.  </p>
<p>How necessary is fresh, safe drinking water?  The human body is 60-70% made up of water.  Your blood is virtually wholly made from water, and your brain, muscles, and lungs all have lots of water in them.  Water is imperative in regulating your body temperature, providing transport for nutrient elements and oxygen to get to all of your organs and cells, removing waste products from your system, and protecting organs and joints.  It has been stated that your body can&#8217;t last more than 48 hours with replenishing its water resources.  That shows you just how imperative it is to have fresh water available for drinking.  </p>
<p>Emergency <a href="http://www.separmaticsystems.com/pilot-testing.html" target='_blank'>portable water filtration</a> units have saved many lives, and every day new technology is being developed which makes them more efficient and better able to make provision for the gullible public that may be faced with a disaster situation at any time no matter where they live.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Folk who are emergency responders know that the biggest problem they regularly experience is the dearth of clean water they need when responding to a disaster call.  As they pull into areas where major storms or other calamities have struck, they find folk who are literally dying of thirst, covered with filth, and desperate for water resources that are safe and free from contaminants.  These situations are the reasons why a number of firms have developed <a href="http://www.separmaticsystems.com/emergency-response-trailers.html" target='_blank'>mobile water purification systems</a> that are capable of disinfecting massive amounts of any sort of water and making it safe for human consumption.  </p>
<p>Following a tragedy, civil water systems have frequently been devastated.  Folk can&#8217;t just turn on a tap to get all of the water they need to keep life on an even keel.  In addition, search and rescue teams are regularly brought in to go looking for survivors, and they also need drinking water as well as water to wash away the mud and contaminants they&#8217;re working in all day.  Shortage of water only makes a bad situation that far worse.  The majority of us have no conception of what it might be like if our sources of clean water virtually dried up, but the absence of water is one of the most bad emergencies folk can face.  </p>
<p>With a mobile water purification system, workers can bring in the kit to produce huge amounts of water.  For instance, the system designed by Ecosphere can purify 72,000 gallons of water every day to be used for drinking, cooking, washing, and cleaning.  This system can be mounted on a wagon for straightforward portability, and it&#8217;s capable of treating about any water source.  Employing a multi-stage purification process, this technology will remove animal and human byproducts, biological pathogens, industrial wastes, and other contaminants from the water leaving it clean enough for human use.  </p>
<p>Many water purification systems are designed to run off of solar energy.  Since disaster circumstances regularly involve power outages, having water purification that runs off the sun&#8217;s power can be a real advantage.  These are the kinds of units that the U.S.  Army has sent overseas to be used by troops in 3rd world countries where there is aproblem with insanitary water.  The units are designed to be self-contained, rough, and portable, and they can convert saline, brackish, or poisoned water into safe, water at a rate of thirty thousand gallons a day.  These <a href="http://www.separmaticsystems.com/emergency-response-trailers.html" target='_blank'>mobile drinking water trailers</a> can literally save lives.</p>
