Hospitals Under Pressure: Ensuring Continuity with Emergency Enclosures

Hospitals Under Pressure: Ensuring Continuity with Emergency Enclosures

Hospitals can’t afford to shut down — not during storms, not during cleanup. When disaster strikes, the pressure to protect patients, staff, and critical equipment is immediate. Shrink wrap offers a rapid-response solution that keeps essential areas sealed, dry, and operational.

When Every Hour Counts

Damage to a hospital roof, wall, or window isn’t just a construction issue — it’s a threat to care continuity. Moisture intrusion can compromise:

  • Surgical suites
  • Medical storage rooms
  • Imaging centers
  • Emergency departments

Shrink wrap acts as a temporary enclosure that buys time without compromising function. It creates a sealed environment that supports infection control, HVAC stability, and patient safety.

Faster to Deploy, Safer to Operate

Unlike rigid barriers or tarp-based systems, shrink wrap:

  • Is custom-fit to complex building shapes
  • Can wrap rooftop units, vent stacks, and exposed ductwork
  • Allows emergency crews and patients to move underneath it safely
  • Meets healthcare-grade fire and UV resistance standards

Hospitals using shrink wrap can continue operations while permanent repairs are underway — without rerouting patients or shutting down entire wings.

Compliance-Friendly Containment

Healthcare facilities must follow strict local, state, and federal regulations. Shrink wrap systems from StormWrappers:

  • Support infection control risk assessments (ICRA)
  • Reduce water-related remediation claims
  • Help meet Joint Commission and FEMA mitigation standards

It’s not just about stopping water — it’s about protecting reputations and lives.
