Recovering from a natural disaster can be overwhelming. A severe weather event, a wildfire, an earthquake or other devastating event often leaves community members in shock months and sometimes years after the destructive event. 

 

According to Statista, in 2023, there were a total of 89 severe natural disasters in the United States. In that year, approximately 60 percent of the catastrophes were severe convective storms. About 12 percent of the major disasters in the U.S. in 2023 were caused by winter storms.

 

It can be extremely stressful for families and pets to be displaced after a natural disaster. While FEMA or the Red Cross may provide temporary shelter in hotels or insurance companies may cover the cost of a rental home, some people choose to temporarily move into an extended stay hotel. But what if you want to live on your property while your home is being rebuilt?

 

Natural Disaster Transportation in a Luxury Motorcoach Provides Comfort During a Stressful Situation 

 

Recently, our LiTRV team was approached to help a family seeking temporary housing options after Hurricane Helene destroyed their home. Rather than stay in an extended stay hotel, the family is renting a modern, luxury motorcoach and will live in it on their property while they rebuild. These “Class A” motorcoachs are the most extravagant RVs on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Much like a luxury hotel suite, they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher.

 

Keep Your Pets with You

 

One of the benefits of renting a luxury motorcoach is that there is ample space for your pets to move around, stretch and relax. And because of the comfortable, home-like environment, you can bring their favorite bed, blankets, toys and even set up a designated feeding area to help reduce their stress and anxiety. But most importantly, you’ll be with them, showering them with all the love and attention you normally would. 

 

If you’ve been affected by a natural disaster, one of the first things you should do is to register with FEMA. Remember to contact your homeowner’s insurance company and mortgage provider and file a claim.
