The Western Shelter system was designed to provide an easily transported, simple to erect, and, most importantly, weather-secure working environment for operations in remote locations. From the arctic to the tropics, the proven reliability of the designs, material and construction has consistently exceeded customer expectations in the harshest of conditions. Performance under these critical conditions has brought the Western Shelter range to the attention of agencies and organisations in the fire, rescue, medical, military and disaster response fields.
Since 1992, Western Shelter Systems has been a primary supplier of emergency response shelters for FEMA, NDMS, USAR, DMAT, CDC, federal, state, and municipal fire and police jurisdictions; as well as forest service, military, hospital and industrial organisations. Western shelters systems can be found supporting government and private operations on every continent and in every corner of the globe.
During a bioterrorist attack, or any other major health care incident, many people who do not need acute care will head for a hospital anyway, creating a deluge of patients and making it all the more difficult to assess the afflicted.
To effectively utilise responding jurisdictions and teams during an emergency, it is advantageous to have shelters that can seamlessly integrate with already-deployed shelters to provide expanded patient care facilities, while providing maximum hospital protection.
Western Shelter's GateKeeper line of portable temporary emergency health care facilities can provide protection for patients, staff and equipment during bioterrorism and other all-hazard emergencies.
GateKeeper protects the integrity of your hospital or health care facility, while preventing the Emergency Department from being overwhelmed.
There is a GateKeeper size and configuration to meet every hospital or clinic's need for a temporary patient health care facility.
GateKeeper offers proven and reliable solutions including:
-
Initial Triage.
-
Patient management, control, isolation and surge capacity
-
Pre- and post-decontamination
-
Trauma and burn care
-
Shelter for pharmaceutical caches
-
Communications and IT equipment
