Evacuation Services for Natural Disasters
Iowa is no stranger to natural disasters, and when they happen, it’s important to have a plan in place. Flooding along the Des Moines River or Mississippi River can force entire neighborhoods to evacuate, while tornadoes and severe storms can knock out power and make roads impassable. Des Moines Minibus Company can provide evacuation transportation for residents, hospital patients, nursing home residents, and anyone else who needs to get to safety. We can pick up passengers at designated shelters, community centers, or door-to-door, and take them to pre-arranged locations outside the danger zone.
Shuttle Services for Essential Workers
During emergencies, essential workers still need to get to their jobs. This includes healthcare workers at hospitals like UnityPoint Health – Des Moines and MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center, first responders, utility workers, and more. If public transportation is shut down or roads are closed, Des Moines Minibus Company can provide dedicated shuttles to get these workers to and from their workplaces. We can run multiple shifts per day, with pick-up points tailored to where your employees live.
Relocation Assistance After Fires or Accidents
If a fire, chemical spill, or other industrial accident forces people to leave their homes or workplaces, Des Moines Minibus Company can help relocate them quickly. We’ve worked with apartment complexes, factories, and office buildings to move large groups of people on short notice. Our buses have plenty of room for luggage, pets in carriers, and personal belongings. We can take evacuees to hotels, shelters, or family members’ homes, and provide return transportation once it’s safe to go back.
Support for Large Events and Mass Gatherings
Major events like the Iowa State Fair, concerts at Wells Fargo Arena, or football games at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames can attract tens of thousands of people. If an emergency occurs during one of these gatherings, it’s critical to have a way to move crowds quickly and orderly. Des Moines Minibus Company can station buses on-site as a contingency, ready to deploy at a moment’s notice. We can also assist with reunification efforts by transporting people to central meeting points.
