LDR Keeps a Major Hospital Network Open During Hurricane Helene

The Emergency

Rapid Deployment of Emergency Services

When the hospital system reached out to LDR Emergency Services via our 24/7 hotline, our emergency response team immediately mobilized. Drawing on our nationwide network of equipment and personnel, we quickly developed and executed a strategic support plan tailored to the storm’s projected impact.

THE LDR SOLUTION

Our response included:

Deployment of commercial-grade power generators to maintain electricity across all 26 medical sites
Delivery and setup of portable restrooms and sanitation stations to ensure hygiene, accessibility, and safety under emergency conditions
Supplementary equipment and logistical support, including lighting, fencing, and waste removal solutions

Key Takeways

Deployed commercial-grade generators and ADA-compliant portable restrooms to 26 medical sites
Provided temporary infrastructure including lighting, fencing, and waste removal to promote safety
Delivered all needs despite regional supply shortages by mobilizing our national resources
Enabled full hospital and clinic functionality during historic flooding
Preserved emergency healthcare access for thousands during and after the storm

“LDR’s ability to develop and deliver a comprehensive plan across 25 facilities guaranteed electricity and functioning restrooms for a devastated community. Word of our success traveled fast, and we received requests from hospitals affected by Helene in Georgia and Florida.”

The Ldr Solution

Zero Downtime,
Full Operational Continuity

Thanks to our deep experience in disaster response logistics, LDR was able to fulfill every request on a tight timeline—despite regional supply constraints.

With LDR’s emergency site services in place, the hospital and all associated clinics remained fully operational throughout the storm. This enabled medical staff to treat a wide range of emergency cases, including:

Injuries related to flooding and debris
Car accidents caused by storm conditions
Ongoing critical care for non-storm-related patients

The Result

A Reputation For Rapid Relief

Once Asheville’s healthcare system was able to stay open and operational, LDR was awarded a contract to continue to manage emergency services in its hospitals and clinics. Additionally, once news of our success spread across the Southeast, we received requests from hospitals that were affected by Helene in Georgia and Florida–and proudly fulfilled their emergency needs, too.
