Emergency Toilet
for Power Outages,
Floods & Disasters
When Disaster Strikes, Your Toilet Stops Working
"In situations like floods, storms, or power outages — sanitation quickly becomes one of the biggest risks to your family's health and comfort."
Water or sewer disruption can make normal bathroom routines difficult.
A backup toilet needs suitable placement, charged power, spare consumables and an accepted waste-disposal route.
Keep handwashing supplies and follow local emergency-service advice. A portable toilet does not make floodwater or a damaged building safe.
Floods
Water or sewer disruption may prevent use of normal facilities. Avoid floodwater and follow official advice.
Power outages
Some water and sewage systems depend on electric pumps. Plan a backup suited to your property.
Cyclones and storms
Keep sanitation supplies as part of your household emergency plan and follow emergency-service directions.

Each cartridge provides up to 15 powered flushes. With Pee Powder, the maximum-use sequence of up to three urine-only visits followed by one bowel movement and an immediate powered flush can provide up to 60 uses per cartridge.
