Homeless Encampment Cleanup - Bio-One's Emergency Response

From needles, syringes, blood, urine and feces, animals, and other pests, homeless encampments should always be cleaned by professionals. Biohazards present in encampments can pose serious health risks to both the occupants of the encampment and the first responders who are called to clean it up. Bio-One's team of professionals works closely with local authorities to ensure that a safe homeless encampment cleanup is conducted after these areas have been cleared.

Our team of professionals uses the latest in disinfection and sanitization techniques to ensure that these areas are safe for everyone. Here are four ways Bio-One responds when it comes to disinfecting and disinfecting homeless encampments:

We work closely with local authorities to ensure a safe and effective encampment cleanup.

Encampment cleanups can vary depending on the size and condition of the encampment. Our team will work with local authorities to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. In most cases, we will remove all debris and biohazardous materials from the site and then disinfect the area to prevent the spread of disease. We understand that these encampments are often home to vulnerable individuals, so we will work quickly and discreetly to ensure that the area is safe and clean.

Our team of professionals uses the latest in disinfection and sanitization techniques.

This, in addition to our top-of-the-line personal protective equipment (PPE), ensures that we are able to clean and disinfect even the most difficult areas. We understand that encampments can be unsanitary and pose a serious health risk to both individuals living there and the surrounding community. Our goal is to help make these areas safe for everyone involved.

We dispose of all biohazards safely and responsibly.

One of the dangers of encampments is the high concentration of biohazards present. This includes needles, syringes, blood, urine, and feces. These can pose a serious health risk to both those living in the encampment and to first responders or others who come into contact with them. In addition, encampments often attract animals and pests, which can further spread disease and create unsanitary conditions.

Bio-One's team can handle any size encampment and will work quickly to remove all debris and biohazardous materials. We understand the importance of discretion and will work to ensure that the encampment is clean and safe without drawing attention to the individuals who were living there.

We provide a clean and safe environment for everyone involved.

Bio-One's homeless encampment cleanup services are available 24/7/365. We know that encampments must be cleaned up as quickly as possible. Our team is always ready to respond to your call. Contact us today to learn more about our encampment cleanup services or to request a free estimate.

4 Ways to Approach the Homeless Encampment Issue in Your Area - Bio-One of Oceanside.

Bio-One of Oceanside's technicians are experienced in homeless encampment clean out throughout North San Diego County and Southern California. Professionals should remove trash and biohazardous waste such as fecal matter, blood, urine, hypodermic needles, and objects to guarantee the safety of the local community, law enforcement, and emergency responders.

The homeless encampment issue has increased due to multiple factors, including misguided politics, economic struggle, mental health conditions, and the lack of opportunities for people who are also struggling with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It's important to stay informed about what is happening around the homeless encampment issue in your community or neighborhood. We are sharing four ways you can approach the homeless encampment issue in your area as an information resource if you're dealing with this delicate issue in your area.

Homelessness - What does it mean?

By definition, a homeless person is someone who lives without a permanent dwelling. They can live alone or be a part of a homeless encampment, a location where many people live in unsheltered areas. These makeshift structures can be found in public spaces such as avenues, streets, sidewalks, parks, subways, under bridges, and even on the beach. These camps can be found on abandoned buildings, private properties, and local, state, or federal government-owned areas.

A homeless encampment is often the only option for someone experiencing homelessness. It's not a choice but the last resort to provide some stability and security. The people who live in these encampments are vulnerable to many dangers, such as violence, exposure to the elements, mental and physical health risks, and multiple biohazards.

To help those living in homeless encampments, it's important first to understand the root causes of homelessness.

What you can do to help the homeless.

There are many ways to help the homeless population in your community. Here are some things you can do to make a difference and, hopefully, contribute to a more effective solution for unhoused residents:

  1. Be politically active
  2. Volunteer with Organizations that provide a solution for the homeless
  3. Volunteer with Church Organizations
  4. Contact your State Representative and local law enforcement 

Be politically active

The homeless encampment issue is a hot topic right now. If you want to help the community with the social issue that is homelessness, start by getting politically active: know who your city crews, local legislators, and politicians are, learn how to get in touch with them, and participate in a cause that resonates with what you're trying to accomplish.

Volunteer with Organizations that provide a solution for the homeless

By January 2020, 580.466 Americans were experiencing homelessness, according to data published by the National Alliance to End Homelessness

Drug addiction, mental health conditions, adverse circumstances, poverty, chronic unemployment, economic hardships… We discuss the health effects of homeless encampments while recognizing that people struggling with homelessness are not there for the same reasons. 

If you're looking to volunteer for an organization that provides a real homelessness solution, we recommend Solutions for Change with a community-based approach. Founded in 1999, Solutions for Change has a clear mission: "To solve Family Homelessness- One family, one community at a time." Learn more about Solutions for Change's work by clicking here and how to volunteer now.

Volunteer with Church Organizations

People living in homeless encampments struggle with hygiene, health problems, hunger, and other issues that others may take for granted. Organizations like the San Diego Rescue Mission help homeless people with basic needs and support them in changing their lives. 

Volunteer with a church in your area to help homeless people with food, clothing, and other necessities. Learn more about San Diego Rescue Mission's work and how to get involved to help. 

Contact your State Representative and local law enforcement 

The unsanitary conditions in which homeless encampments are built typically result in multiple health and safety issues like disease outbreaks and the risk of biohazard contamination due to drug and alcohol abuse. 

While the City of Oceanside stated that the 9th Circuit's landmark 2019 "Boise Decision" has limited the Police Department's ability to enforce the Code prohibition camping on public property and other limitations, emergencies and illegal activities still should be reported to the Police Department at 911.

Homeless Encampment - 4 Health Hazards and How We Can Help - Bio-One of Oceanside.

Cleaning and removing a homeless encampment is a delicate operation that professionals should only do. Bio-One has assisted businesses, government agencies, and local law enforcement with the remediation of homeless encampments throughout Oceanside and North San Diego County, following the procedures that guarantee safety and complete hazard-free (biological, chemical, and physical) areas.

According to the ASU Center for Problem-Oriented Policing, Homeless Encampments can take many forms: “…tent cities; groups are living under freeway overpasses; and groups sleeping in parks, in skid rows (urban areas with concentrations of poverty and dilapidated buildings), in subway tunnels, on sidewalks, etc.”

Biohazardous waste associated with substance abuse

Unfortunately, homeless Encampmets are often an environment where substance abuse is present. The main biohazard risk associated with this problem is hypodermic needles and other paraphernalia. The cleaning process should be followed by Professionals using adequate PPE and Training. 

Substance abuse also includes the issue of Chronic Inebriation, regardless of the areas where a homeless encampment might be located. Chronic Inebriation can lead to crime and public disorder risk as these individuals become incapable of defending themselves. 

Human feces, urine, and other environmental hazards

Homeless Encampments are usually set in improvised areas without access to a bathroom or other physiological needs. Human Feces and Urine is a severe issue that comes with Homeless Encampment because some will turn to rivers for human disposal, leading to contamination in the water supply system of surrounding communities.

There are also several environmental hazards associated with Homeless Encampments. The absence of adequate living conditions creates a problem for the environment. Humans need food, water, and other basic resources just to stay alive. Batteries, fuels, and other hazardous materials are used for improvised cooking and heating. Also, propane tanks irresponsibly placed can lead to severe accidents in the perimeter. 

Debris and trash - A public safety hazard

Coupled with the fact that many homeless individuals might be struggling with mental conditions (and they most likely won’t have the means to cover treatment or regular checkups) Homeless Encampments can be the center of accumulation of junk and trash. 

Depending on these encampments’ locations, debris and filth can be piled up more easily. Our Team of Professionals at Bio-One of Oceanside is qualified to clear out homeless encampments and remediate areas of public use. 

Pest infestation and other vermin - A common problem in a homeless encampment

The improvised and, sometimes, rudimentary conditions in which Homeless Encampments come about make the perfect scenario for wild animals and other pests infestations to take over these locations and, subsequently, the surrounding properties, businesses, and Communities.

This has been a problem for Property Owners in the areas near Homeless Encampments. Pest infestation (rodents, roaches, fleas) are just a few of the consequences associated with the proliferation of unpremeditated and even short-term Homeless Encampments.
