After Hurricane Rita hit Orange, Texas in 2005, community leaders compiled a list of critical needs during early onset of disasters in their area.  They contracted with service providers who could immediately fulfill these needs if another disaster struck.  Each of these service providers maintains the equipment, supplies, and means to fulfill their contractual obligation if called upon.

Orange, Texas has established pre-disaster agreements with various service providers.  After Hurricane Rita (2005) the city entered into contract agreements with Grubbs Emergency Services, LLC, Garner Environmental Services and Old Orange Cafe and Catering Company. Grubbs Emergency Services helped to open the roads after Hurricane Rita, while Garner provided temporary housing, generators and food stocks and the Old Orange Cafe provided boxed lunches for workers.
