The Bertha Project is a nonprofit organization that aims to help people and communities prepare for natural disasters. One of their initiatives is the "BP-Repurposing Initiative," which finds everyday, inexpensive products that can be repurposed to assist people during a natural disaster.

 

One such product is the Grab Bars, which are designed to provide stability and support to the elderly and disabled when getting in and out of the bathtub or shower. However, following Hurricane Ian in 2022, the Bertha Project realized that these Grab Bars could also be used to hold onto during a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or tornado, to provide stability and support in dangerous conditions.

 

The Bertha Project is part of the Amazon Associates program, which means that every time someone visits Amazon after clicking on their associate link and makes a purchase, Amazon will pay the Bertha Project. The organization is transparent about this and uses the money earned to continue their mission of helping others prepare for natural disasters.

 

The Grab Bars can be repurposed for many different scenarios, such as guiding people out of a dangerous situation, including parked cars and slow-moving vehicles in snow. The Bertha Project suggests keeping a pair in a drawstring bag for quick access, and keeping a set in your automobile in case of emergency.

 

Overall, the Bertha Project is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to helping people and communities prepare for natural disasters. Through their BP-Repurposing Initiative, they are finding everyday, inexpensive products that can be repurposed to assist people during a natural disaster, and the Grab Bars are just one example of how this initiative can be useful. And at the retail price of under $30 it could be that one emergency tool you may never regret buying.
