PAVE The Home Depot Disaster Relief

VOLUNTEER. EDUCATE. CHANGE.

Hurricane Katrina grossed over $100 billion dollars worth of damage; thirteen years later, residents are still suffering from the ramifications of the disaster, striving to rebuild their homes and their lives. Natural disasters are still heavily impacting our world today, destroying homes and businesses while also displacing our citizens.

These highlighted states are the states that are most commonly affected by these natural disasters. With these disasters still heavily impacting our world today, it is our duty as citizens to volunteer to help those who are in need. The Home Depot has valuable expertise and supplies that could change our world for the better.

THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS:

The left, right and back faces slide up while the front face flips down creating an expanded floor. Tucked away legs span out from the front face, creating flooring support.

The Home Depot Disaster Relief truck is a traveling educational station and relief supply store. The truck helps residents become better DIYers, equipping them with tools in addition to plumbing and electrical knowledge. Just as a toolbox holds the tools needed to solve an issue, the truck carries the knowledge and supplies needed to help displaced residents repair their own homes.
