Many counties subsidize Search and Rescue teams. They help offset costs to protect communities against major disasters. Sometimes off-duty county sheriffs and fire fighters are given funds to take additional classes such as: Rock Climbing, Repelling, Amateur Radio Classes and other equipment. Many off duty first responders volunteer for such groups. These cities and agencies also subsidize equipment used in such exercises including scuba gear and other expensive equipment. You'll find these public safety people to be excellent word of mouth networking friends for your small business.

Because mobile car wash trucks have their own water and electric, we can become superior resources in emergency situations. The gallons and gallons of fresh water we carry could be vital to the public in the event of a major disaster and the high-pressure hoses can be used in fighting fires. The massive wattage from the flood lamps can be used to light up neighborhoods or other emergency sites in the event of a blackout.

Mobile Car Washers and Mobile Detailers are the only ones with such elaborate mobile utilities aside from the disaster relief squads and they may ask for our help when disaster strikes. If their backs are to the wall and they know they can call on your company; you become a golden child of the community. It will be the right thing to do when your community needs you.

From a business point of view it's incredibly good PR if the car wash units are caught on TV helping victims, fighting fires or delivering power to a small group after a Hurricane. You will be helping people and community in their time of need and you can't buy PR like that! This is a major win/win situation. Besides, after a disaster it takes at least a week before anyone even realizes that their car is dirty. Meaning there will not be any business during that time, so you may as well take your energies to the street to do the right thing. Think about it.
