Affordable Onsite Storage Solutions for Storm and Flood Victims
Between December 2022 and January 2023, California was relentlessly battered by a series of nine powerful atmospheric rivers—massive bands of moisture-laden air that carried tropical water vapor across the Pacific Ocean and unloaded it over the West Coast in the form of torrential rain and snow. These storm systems brought nearly half of California’s average annual rainfall in just over a month, overwhelming rivers, breaching flood defenses, and pushing thousands of homes and businesses to the brink.
As residents across the state scrambled to safeguard their property and adapt to increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, onsite storage containers emerged as a vital solution for emergency preparedness, temporary shelter, and secure, weather-resistant storage.
Used Shipping Containers: A Fast, Reliable Emergency Storage Option
On February 6, 2023, Eveon Containers received a heartfelt review on Trustpilot from Rusty Mileur, a resident of Merced, California—one of the areas hardest hit by the flooding. In urgent need of fast, affordable storage for his family’s belongings, Rusty turned to used shipping containers as a practical and immediate solution. He ordered two 20ft containers through Eveon’s online platform to store items from his flood-damaged home.
“Due to the surge in storage demand,” Rusty shared, “local self-storage units were either completely full or physically underwater. We needed secure options fast. After almost giving up, we found Eveon Containers online.”
Shipping containers, originally designed for transporting 85% of the world’s goods—have become a go-to solution for land-based emergency storage. Entrepreneurs, contractors, homeowners, and now storm survivors are discovering their value as resilient, secure, and cost-effective storage units that can be delivered and set up virtually anywhere.
A Lifesaver in Crisis: Watertight Containers for Property Protection
In our follow-up conversation, Rusty told us more about how the storm impacted his neighborhood.
“Parts of Merced were under three feet of water,” he explained. “We’ve lived here since 2002, and I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like it. Our house was built in 1969 and sits a few feet off the ground, which gave us a small advantage. Still, many of the walls will have to be replaced due to extensive water damage.”
While restoration efforts continue, the Mileurs are living in a trailer on their property. In the meantime, all of their household items are being safely stored inside the shipping containers they purchased from Eveon.
“They’re completely watertight, which is such a relief,” Rusty said. “We’re still packing items inside. They’ve given us a sense of control in a situation where so much feels uncertain.”
Eveon Containers: A Trusted Partner in Times of Crisis
What truly stood out to us wasn’t just that Rusty took the time to leave a five-star review during a natural disaster, but why he did.
