Types of Disaster Relief Buildings
Temporary/Portable
Disasters don’t last forever, and we want to make sure you have a temporary option available. Our temporary buildings are portable and can be placed at any site, even in remote locations.
Used/Pre-Owned
Pre-owned modular shelters are the more cost-effective solution. They’re also faster to deploy, making them the best option in time-sensitive emergency situations.
Emergency Response Trailer
Modular emergency response trailers are an excellent space for emergency swing spaces. They can also be utilized as a central office to plan relief efforts or to triage patients during medical emergencies.
Modular Hospital & Medical Buildings
Modular hospitals and medical buildings are used during pandemics and natural disasters to safely treat patients as the main hospital building overflows with sick or injured individuals.
Modular Emergency Housing
VESTA offers modular shelters in the form of portable temporary housing units. Consider these solutions to keep community members safe with a sturdy roof over their heads after disaster hits a town.
Emergency Shower Trailer
Providing emergency shower trailers benefits both refugees and volunteers. This private space can be utilized for cleaning up immediately after a disaster or for daily use if utilized in a temporary housing shelter.
Modular Classrooms
A neighboring disaster might send an influx of students to nearby schools. This influx in enrollment can cause space issues. Modular classrooms provide the additional space needed after enrollment increases. They can also be utilized during construction and damage repair after a school building has been hit by a storm.
COVID-19 Response Trailers
After the COVID-19 pandemic, it became evident that a safe space was needed for the testing and treatment of coronavirus patients. Our modular buildings can be kept sanitized and equipped with necessary medical supplies.

Modular Emergency Building Costs
Leasing
At VESTA, we offer an operational lease. With an operational lease, you can essentially rent the building for us as long as you need. When your lease ends, the building will return to our inventory. Operational leases can last for years at a time, although they are typically more affordable if they only last for five years or less.
Purchasing
Purchasing a building is recommended for agencies and organizations that regularly respond to emergencies and crises, such as government agencies or medical organizations and hospitals. For those that will be using the space on a temporary basis, leasing is the advised route.
Other Cost Factors
Other factors that might affect the cost of your emergency trailer include:
- Building size: The size of a modular building is a major factor in the cost. For example, single wide trailers are less expensive than double wide trailers.
- New or used: New buildings cost a bit more than pre-owned buildings. Choose a used modular building to cut costs.
- Permanent or temporary: Permanent modular buildings are priced higher than temporary buildings.
- Customization: The level of customization you choose for your building can increase the price, from the type of flooring you select to the number of rooms.
- Beyond the Box: Beyond the Box is an incredible feature we offer in which technology and accessibility tools can be installed in your modular building. We can even include furniture like beds and waiting room chairs or desks for staff.
