In the aftermath of two powerful earthquakes in Venezuela, Eugene-based company Deployed Logix has supplied urban search and rescue teams such as Virginia Task Force One and California Task Force One with pop-up shelters, decontamination systems, cots and hygiene infrastructure.
The 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck off the coast of Venezuela on Wednesday, June 24. The death toll has risen to more than 1,700 people as of Monday, June 29.
Two of the most popular items Deployed Logix sells are pop-up emergency structures. The ASAP Shelter can be set up by two people and in less than a minute, while the larger X-Series takes more time to set up but provides more shelter and less exposure to the elements.
Depending on configuration, Deployed Logix’s shelters range from roughly $10,000 to $18,000 for its ASAP line and $15,000 to about $25,000 for its larger X Series units. All products are manufactured in Eugene.
So far, Deployed Logix estimates there are about 20 of each shelter type on the ground in Venezuela. The company’s leaders are also trying to send donated equipment to aid recovery efforts there, despite the challenges of moving gear through a compromised airport in Caracas.
“We’re working on sending one of our personnel down there with his entire cache of equipment that we’re going to donate,” said Ryan Miller, sales director for Deployed Logix. “We also have members of our team that are retired USAR (urban search and rescue) people that we’re working on trying to get down there just so they can aid in that recovery process.”
On Tuesday, Deployed Logix hosted first responders from the Poland-based emergency medical team called Humanosh. Since 2022, they have been operating in Ukraine, helping to evacuate more than 2,200 patients and to fill in the cracks where healthcare systems have stopped functioning.
The company also supplies organizations locally; Deployed Logix founders JJ Urhausen and Adam Barr are both originally from Eugene. Their shelters have been used by St. Vincent de Paul’s Egan Warming Center, including for a recent 13-day stretch of continuous winter use at the center. Additionally, they have supplied ASAP shelters for state-run emergency caches along the Oregon Coast in preparation for the potential Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake.
The company employs 118 in Eugene, and 135 globally.
For Miller, success is not just selling units; he wants to make sure responders have what they need to do their jobs.
“I don’t count it as a win when we just sell someone a shelter,” he said. “If I or any of my loved ones are ever in an emergency situation, I hope the people coming to help them have our equipment.”
