Joplin Relief Drive

On May 22nd, deadly tornadoes swept through Joplin, Missouri, destroying nearly 30 percent of the town.  The EF-5 twister with winds measuring up to 200 mph cut a six-mile path through the city destroying the hospital and high school, crushing cars like soda cans and leaving behind only splintered tree trunks and rubble where entire neighborhoods once stood.  Over 600 volunteers and 50 dog teams, along with government agencies, are helping in the rescue and recovery efforts.  There is some good news, many people on the initial missing or unaccounted for list have been located alive.  Yet many are still homeless and in need of assistance.

We at Pacific Cascade Corp./The ParkingZone like to aid in community needs, but the latest disaster in Missouri has hit close to home. Joplin, Missouri is our Controller, Sandy Prue’s home town. She has many friends and family members there directly affected by that massive tornado. We decided donating money was simply not enough; we would organize a parking industry support “Drive”.

So many people have lost their homes, belongings and jobs. Now there is an overwhelming need for clothing, hygiene products, food (pet food), and water. We will be accepting donations of new and used clothing, blankets, bedding, pet food and new hygiene products here at Pacific Cascade. Tax deductible donations will also be accepted at Pacific Cascade (checks are to be made out to the American Red Cross with Joplin, MO recovery in the memo area). Cash donations will be accepted at the Vancouver branch of Regents Bank. All money donations will be sent on to the Joplin chapter of the American Red Cross, and all clothing donations will be shipped to the Joplin chapter of the Salvation Army.

Please join us and give generously to help the efforts in aiding the people of tornado-ravaged Joplin.

We truly appreciate any help you can give. Its times like these that we all need to pull together and help our fellow American neighbors. Please contact Pacific Cascade with any questions 360-574-9313.

Thank you.

Be Safe, Be Seen and Be Environmentally Friendly

The TurboFlare™ is the world’s first effective 360° Electronic Road Flare with ultra bright LEDs.  The TurboFlare replaces the environmentally caustic, traditional incendiary road flares that can also cause human health issues and are a fire and burn hazard.

The TurboFlare was originally developed for first responders (police, fire and rescue) for a safe solution in emergency situations.  Its use has since broadened into multiple markets; DOT, public utilities, off-road, mining and refinery companies have use the TurboFlare and it’s application is growing in the trucking industry.

Unlike traditional incendiary road flares, The TurboFlare is also environmentally safe. All incendiary flares use a caustic, flammable mixture that is also water soluble.  This means that every flare left on the roadside will eventually leach their chemicals into our water.  One unused road flare left on a highway can contaminate 300,000 gallons of water above public health benchmark levels.  In addition, incendiary flares release toxic gases when they burn, and if the poisonous NO2 is inhaled, it can cause lung edema in overexposure.

For these reasons, By law, incendiary flares are not to be used with the tractor trailer industry.

Turboflare™ AA Electronic Road Flare

• 360° degree rotation with 20 ultra bright output LEDs
• Uses 4 –  AA  Alkaline Batteries that will last for 80 hours of continuous use
• TurboFlare™ AA:  1-Year warranty against manufacturers defects
• Weatherproof “O” Ring Seal
• Spring-Loaded, moisture resistant ON/OFF switch
• Extremely durable, made of Super strong Dupont SurlynNon-Toxic
• Environmentally safe

The TurboFlare is the safe alternative to a incendiary road flare that is less costly to operate and reusable while eliminating hazards to humans and the environment alike.
