Bulk Emergency Drinking Water Solutions: Atwood’s Bottled Water Truckloads for Government & Disaster Response
2025 has already shown us more than our fair share of natural disasters, and hurricane season has just begun. We kicked off the year with historic wildfires in Southern California, and saw a devastating severe weather season, capped off with massive flooding events in New Mexico, Texas, and Wisconsin.
All of these areas were major disasters that claimed lives, required weeks of cleanup, and left people without food, shelter, and even clean water. Greenwood Aerospace has partnered with local retailer and farm store Atwood’s to provide bulk buys of fresh, clean bottled water at scale. When the power goes out and the storms are raging, you need fresh water ASAP, and we provide exactly that.
Bulk Emergency Drinking Water for Large-Scale Government & Disaster Response Needs
One of the most challenging aspects of disaster recovery, beyond austere conditions and environmental concerns, is securing sufficient clean water. The average person needs about 1 gallon of fresh drinking water per day, though this can vary depending on physical exertion, ambient temperature, and humidity, among other factors.

Trying to source water locally is a non-starter, especially in hurricane responses, where there is limited lead time, and supplies are depleted before the event.
Thanks to our central location in North-Central Oklahoma and proximity to Interstate 35 and several other key highways, bulk water can move quickly anywhere in the continental U.S.
And since we are on the GSA Schedule, our products are on GSA Advantage. No haggling, no questioning the price. You select the item and place your order, and we take care of the rest. As a disaster response item, it is also available for use by many eligible state and local governments.
Why Bulk Water is Key in Disaster Response
In the immediate aftermath of disasters, infrastructure is often severely damaged. It may be damaged and out of commission for a while, or completely disabled due to catastrophic damage. It is especially common after widespread flooding events that water treatment centers may be completely offline.
When this happens, local retailers will be wiped out (if they are even open to begin with). For the agencies tasked with disaster response, securing a reliable source of bulk water supply isn’t optional; it is mission-critical. Without fresh water, dehydration sets in in a matter of hours. Our response isn’t that fast, but our fixed prices and multiple options for quantity and volume give you all kinds of options to stock your emergency response kits.
Atwood’s Bulk Water — On GSA Advantage
Greenwood Aerospace is on the GSA Schedule, which means we can provide bulk water in large quantities to fill your agency's emergency warehouses. When disaster strikes, we will sustain your response effort with ongoing shipments.
According to some FEMA estimates, a typical hurricane response effort requires approximately four million bottles of water, and this number can increase significantly depending on the size of the impact area, the severity of the event, and the duration of the response. Given the scale of Hurricane Harvey, it is safe to assume that a significantly larger volume of water was required.
Greenwood Aerospace is a Native American-owned, HUBZone-certified small business with over forty years of experience in government procurement. We have partnerships with regional distribution and logistics networks to get Atwood’s bulk drinking water anywhere in the nation in a short period of time.

Water is the most critical element of disaster relief and recovery materials. Without it, mobile kitchens can’t cook and clean, shelters can’t provide clean water, and victims and first responders run a serious risk of dehydration and related health issues.
You can cut these issues off at the pass when you work with Greenwood Aerospace. We have assembled a dependable, reliable, and affordable logistics chain to deliver bulk water where you need it, when you need it, without the usual red tape of government procurement. Whether you need it for disaster response or building long-term strategic readiness, Greenwood Aerospace is your partner. Because disasters don’t wait, and neither should your water supply.
