Recovery
Resilience
Be Alert. Be Prepared.
Be in the know COVID19
As the world deals with crises of all forms, the methods for recovery usually go hand-in-hand with three key factors; being prepared, staying vigilant, and following necessary protocols. With these factors working in unison, the risks associated with a speedy recovery effort become mitigated, allowing for lives to be saved. Below you can find a few resources that may help offer insight during our current global COVID19 pandemic.
Our Mission
Resiliency starts with sustainability
Our goal is to support critical emergency and short term water needs in the wake of catastrophic events by processing and delivering drinking water (bulk and packaged) harvested from the ocean in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner. We will provide a safe, reliable and cost effective alternative to bottled water to those in need by following predictable weather events and rapidly responding to disasters while maintaining complete autonomy from coastal infrastructure.
