Founder/President/CEO shares his Community ReliefHUB module plan
The GridZero Design Team developed an off-grid local community ReliefHUB concept after the disasterous wildfire on the Island of Maui, Hawaii, in August 2023, which burned the Town of Lahaina and its harbor in West Maui to the ground. In under one day over 2,200 homes and businesses were lost leaving 8,000 people without basic daily needs, plus 120 dead, and likely far more as some families have never been seen since the fires. Our Founder once lived in Lahaina and sailed out of this harbor so he feft the loss personally.
​
ReliefHUBS are modular in design for quick deploynt when disaster strikes, or other need arises. They are perfect for non-profit groups and governmental agencies like FEMA to help address those who are impacted after a disaster strikes or for addressing homeless encampments.
​
ReliefHUBS can be placed and operated short-term or long-term as needed, then storaged for the next disaster event. GridZero will build modules through its GridZero MetalWorks (GZ MetalWorks) division in Las Vegas, and hopes to begin building 20 modules by late 2024. Once underway they will begin sales to non-profits, local, state, and federal agencies that deal with homelessness or disaster event planning.
