LDR coordinated cleanup and sanitation to keep pharmacies open through a winter storm system.
After frozen pipes burst and flooded stores across several U.S. regions, LDR mobilized crews for flood cleanup, contamination control, and portable restrooms.
Communities retained prescription access through the storms.
Burst pipes flooded pharmacies.
A 2021 winter storm system brought subfreezing temperatures to several U.S. regions. Frozen pipes burst at multiple stores, flooding floors, damaging infrastructure, and creating contamination risks.
Restrooms went out of service, creating sanitation concerns for staff and customers. Store closures would have cut local communities off from essential prescriptions during a public emergency. At the peak of the crisis, LDR fielded as many as 15 calls per day.
LDR mobilized crews and prioritized the hardest-hit stores.
- Flood cleanup and water removal addressed flooding, protected infrastructure, and reduced downtime.
- Contamination control helped restore safe, sanitary conditions in affected areas.
- Portable restrooms supported staff and customers while plumbing was offline.
Stores remained open and communities retained access to prescriptions.
The pharmacy chain remained open and sanitary through the winter storm system. Customers in affected areas continued receiving medications and healthcare essentials without interruption, with store downtime kept to a minimum.
