Founder & President  -  Toilets for People

Resilient Toilets for Natural Disaster Situations

In the wake of a natural disaster, we focus on providing survivors with basic needs first - on top of this list are water, food and shelter. A conspicuous need, not on this list, is access to a safe, hygienic toilet. In this presentation, we will discuss what are some off-the-shelf, resilient toilet options that can be stockpiled and rapidly deployed for use by first responders as well as survivors.

Jason Kass will be speaking in the following theatres:

Theater 6 - Thursday 13.15 - 13.45: Resilient Toilets for Natural Disaster Situations
