Dennis and I met with Mike yesterday to discuss the porta-San placement among other things. As They have flushing toilets on their block, their top ask was for a hot shower. Mike had mentioned propane fired showers, specifically Zodi, which could be run off of a fireplug tap, used biodegradable soap and drain through a channel dug along street to city drains. Look at the basic camp shower here as well as the hazmat shower. Something we should keep in mind for each neighborhood of we don't receive trailers with built in showers soon... Each community could build wooden, hard foam etc stalls fairly easily, again with precut parts and help from an engineer

The Department of Defense has field showers, field toilets, field laundry, mobile kitchens as part of their deployable packages.. You might consider requesting those capabilities. I will contact Army North to see how the requests would flow.
