When Disaster Strikes: Stan’s Is Ready
We here at Stan’s Airboat and Marsh Excavator Service often get called on to clean up after floods.
This could mean a lot of things. For example, it might mean rescuing cattle stranded by high water (see video below):
It might also mean clearing logs and other debris clogging a river after flooding. Check out this clogged-up river in Arkansas, where the flow of water was restricted by debris:
We had to bring in one of our powerful marsh buggies to the job site to get it cleared:
Of course, we use our airboats to push the swamp buggies to where the debris needs to be cleared (here we are at work in Pecos, TX):
Here we are surveying the Pecos River for damage and conducting cleanup efforts.
Hurricanes are a natural phenomenon that Stan’s is often called on to assist with. We are a vital part of rescue efforts and disaster response such as restoring power, providing assistance in flood protection, and clean-up operations. We’ve also worked in cases of downed aircraft in marsh and swamp lands. All over the United States, we can bring in the equipment that can get to these hard-to-reach locations when an emergency happens.
In fact, the U.S. Coast Guard even relies on Stan’s to perform nationwide disaster response and rescue efforts (click here to read more about our Coast Guard contract and the services we provide).
In times of disaster, swift and strategic response is essential to protect both communities and the environment. Our specialized equipment, from gator foot vehicles to airboats, allows us to access remote and waterlogged areas where standard vehicles simply can’t operate. Whether it’s flood response, oil spill containment, or clearing debris after a major storm, our team is prepared to handle the unique challenges of each situation. We don’t just provide transport and machinery; we bring experienced crews trained in environmental and disaster response, ensuring every task is approached with a balance of efficiency and ecological care.
Beyond immediate cleanup and response, our services focus on restoring and fortifying affected landscapes to prevent future damage. Our approach includes reinforcing levees, implementing erosion control measures, and safely removing hazardous debris, all of which support the long-term stability of vulnerable areas.
By working closely with local authorities and environmental agencies, we ensure that recovery efforts are not only fast but also sustainable, promoting the health and resilience of the land and water systems we depend on. With us, disaster response goes beyond the quick fix; it’s about building a safer, stronger foundation for the future.
