Emergency Preparedness and Response Whether it’s a pandemic flu or a tornado that hits a small community, the impact of a disaster is felt locally and the response is best mobilized on the local level. Although many disasters may not interest the national news media, the event is urgent to those impacted and the response time paramount. In most cases, these isolated local events are what each state and province are dealing with on a regular basis. To better understand what Fastenal brings to support each State’s and Province’s emergency management plan, it’s important to truly understand what Fastenal offers. With 2,700+ worldwide locations, we truly are where you are. One thing that differentiates Fastenal within the industrial supply marketplace is that we own our transportation routes. Our stores are serviced by our own fleet of 6,500+ vehicles, including semi trailers, straight trucks, sprinter vans, and pickup trucks. We don’t have to rely on third-party carriers during your time of need. We have created this guide to help you in identifying the most common items used before, during and after an emergency. Our many statewide contracts offer cooperative use features providing benefits to city and county as well as state and provincial agencies. In the event of an emergency, Fastenal can work with you to provide needed supplies for the communities we serve. Contract Information Check for information on state and cooperative-use contracts.
