RAYNEAU’S HURRICANE EQUIPMENT RENTALS FLEET IS READY!! .

Hurricane season is älmost upon us, and according to experts, we may be heading into a below-average one. Our hurricane equipment rentals, with generators and dewatering pumps, are all ready.  We know that storm recovery can include the use of  power generators and other dewatering pumps by municipalities, homeowners, and hurricane cleanup businesses.

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.  Meteorologists from Colorado State University predict a below-average Atlantic Hurricane season with a total of 13 tropical storms, six of which will become hurricanes. 

A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its sustained winds reach 74 mph.   Phil Klotzbach, the University's meteorologist said that of the six predicted hurricanes, two should be major hurricanes – category 3, 4, or 5 – with sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or greater.

And while the tropical storm peak season may seem far off, it’s not – we at Rayneau Rentals & Sales are prepared; because how well we prepare will have a direct impact on how well our customers are prepared.

 This is not our first hurricane season, so we already know what we’re in for. Our customers are going to need equipment rental to perform two critical functions; generate and restore power and pump water. And to do so, they’re going to be relying on us - our guidance, and our inventory of portable pumps and portable generators.

We have assessed our inventory.  We are well aware of what the demands have been on our business during past storm seasons. Knowing that this year’s season is predicted to be “below-average,”  we are not dropping our guard since it takes only one storm for a season to be active for you.

Our equipment is ready to go at a moment’s notice. Even if any equipment has not “seen action” recently, we perform regular preventive maintenance services, like lubrication and oil change.

 Our Facebook page and other platforms will regularly post  “be prepared” messages out into our marketplace, encouraging potential customers to start thinking now about their equipment needs when the bad weather hits. The sooner that equipment gets reserved, the sooner we’ll have a handle on how much inventory we’ll need to have on hand to meet the demand.

Portable gas or diesel-powered generators are preparedness must-haves as storm recovery equipment. Why? Let’s face it, there’s only so much you can predict with a hurricane. If history has taught us anything, there’s at least one thing you can be absolutely sure of; you’re going to need to have plenty of generators on hand.

Portable generators, gas and diesel-powered, offer the flexibility our customers will need to respond to uncertain, emergency situations for power supply after the storm.  We also have fixed generators on hand, too, which customers may need to generate critical backup power for extended periods if needed.

 In 2013, the Christmas Eve Trough dropped millions of trillion gallons of rain, causing massive inland flooding. The disaster recovery required a lot of hurricane pumps.

Over time, we’ve learned that it has become increasingly difficult to anticipate where flooding will occur; even areas that are usually considered low risk are being adversely affected. That means our customers are going to need pumps that can be easily transported and positioned to do the work that’s needed… quickly and efficiently. At Rayneau Rentals & Sales we can be sure that pumps will be in high demand when the season starts. We are prepared; we have them in your inventory!

 In summary, we don’t leave anything to chance. We’re prepared. How?  We have a plan based on both past inventory and predicted inventory demands.

And lastly, check out our website to see the pumps and power equipment we stock to weather any storm; Rayneau Rentals & Sales portable generators and pumps.

SHOW YOUR RIDE SOME TLC WITH RAYNEAU CAR DETAILING PRODUCTS THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND

The benefits of having your car detailed can be tremendous, but it all depends on the skill of your chosen detailer.

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing your detailer that will greatly affect the outcome of your vehicle.

Of course, anyone who has a passion for cars and wants to keep their vehicle in pristine condition should consider detailing, and how often you revisit this process will again depend on the service you have paid for.

A car detail, also known as an “auto detail”, will fully restore your vehicle's paintwork and protect it for time to come.

In addition to restoring your paintwork detailing comes with the extra benefit of leaving your car with an incredible finish from every angle.

If done correctly, your car will look stunning no matter the environment, direct sunlight? Halogen lights? No problem, there won’t be a scratch in sight.

Not everyone is looking to enhance their paintwork just to leave it sitting on the drive.

You could be entering a show? Planning to sell your vehicle? or maybe you resell vehicles for a living?

In all honestly, it won’t make a difference what you are planning to do, whether you are looking after your own pride and joy or planning to resell, the process will add considerable value to your vehicle. 

Head down to our Automotive Department and get these car detailing products to show your ride some well-deserved TLC - you won't regret it.

Shop with us today or speak with one of our Customer Service Representatives for more details.  Our stores are conveniently located in Corinth 450-7247, Vide Bouteille 450-7246, Monchy 450-7248, or Babonneau for all your car detailing supplies. You can also follow us on FaceBook.

GET HURRICANE READY WITH RAYNEAU! - LET'S GET PREPARED

With hurricane season right around the corner, it is a great time to set aside a moment and prepare for a disaster. One of the ways to prepare is by having essential supplies on hand before a hurricane develops and starts heading your way.

Don’t wait until the last minute to go to the store to buy your supplies because most likely you will find that so many other people have also waited for the last minute and have already emptied the shelves with no more left for you.   

 So what supplies do we need? Here is a list that  the  National  Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO ) has approved:

• Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
• Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
• Battery-powered and portable radio  and extra batteries 
• Flashlight and extra batteries
• First aid kit
• Whistle to signal for help
• Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
• Moist towelettes, garbage bags, and plastic ties for personal sanitation
• Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
• Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food)

Along with that list, they have also suggested these additional items to consider.

• Prescription medications 
• Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification, and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container
• Cash  
• Fire Extinguisher
• Matches in a waterproof container
• Mess kits, paper cups, plates and plastic utensils, paper towels
• Paper and pencil
• Books, games, puzzles, or other activities for children

What else can you do to prepare? Well it’s time to:- 

1. Look at any trees that you have and see if there are any branches that are dead or that may need to be trimmed up. 
2. Declutter drains, gutters and clear any clogged areas or debris to prevent water damage to your property. 
3. Reinforce the roof, windows, and doors, including your garage doors, and don’t forget your sheds.

Purchase/rent a portable generator or install a generator for use during power outages. Remember to keep generators and other alternate power/heat sources outside, at least 20 feet away from windows and doors, and protected from moisture; and NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging a generator into a wall outlet.

At Rayneau we can help with any of your needs whether you need a chainsaw for those trees, a man lift for getting to those higher altitude places, a mid-size or full-size backhoe for moving some dirt around for better drainage, a generator, or any other equipment or tool. Just stop by or give us a call and most of all, stay safe.

Shop with us today or speak with one of our Customer Service Representatives for more details.  Our stores are conveniently located in Corinth 450-7247, Vide Bouteille 450-7246, Monchy 450-7248, or Babonneau 450-5759 for all your home improvement and hurricane supplies.

BELOW-AVERAGE HURRICANE SEASON PREDICTED - IT ONLY TAKES ONE HURRICANE MAKING A LANDFALL TO MAKE IT AN ACTIVE SEASON FOR YOU!

We’re only 9 days away from the official start of hurricane season in the Atlantic Basin - are you prepared?

The Colorado State University hurricane researchers are predicting a slightly below-average Atlantic hurricane season in 2023, citing the likely development of El Niño as a primary factor. Eastern and central tropical and subtropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures are much warmer than normal, while Caribbean sea surface temperatures are near their long-term averages.

No matter the seasonal outlook, now is the time to prepare! It only takes one storm to bring loss of life, extensive damage, and/or change people’s lives forever. 

The forecasters anticipate a near-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall in the Caribbean. As is the case with all hurricane seasons, St Lucians are reminded that it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season for them. They should prepare the same for every season, regardless of how much activity is predicted.

    Forecast for 2023 Hurricane Activity

Forecast Parameters	CSU Forecast for 2023	Average for 1991-2020
Named Storms	13	14.4
Named Storm Days	55	69.4
Hurricanes	6	7.2
Hurricane Days	25	27.0
Major Hurricanes	2	3.2
Major Hurricane Days	5	7.4

There are several things we can do to be prepared for intense weather systems. Perhaps an appropriate starting place is our homes and properties. After sacrificing large sums to own your preferred dwelling place it is advisable to go a step further and ensure your investment is adequately protected from harsh elements.

·         Cut down threatening trees or over-hanging branches

·         Stock up on plywood

·         Repair leaks in roof or replace  rotten galvanize, tiles or shingles

·         Get a set of handy tools here

·         A hurricane emergency kit

·         Get or review your insurance policies.

Here is a great piece of advice from Rayneau -  when entering a hurricane season, the longer it’s been since we had a hurricane, the closer we are to the next one, meaning it’s a good thing to practice what Boys’ Scouts do – that is BE PREPARED!

 Give us a call at  Corinth 450-7247, Vide Bouteille 450-7246, Monchy 450-7248, or Babonneau 450-5759. Follow us on Facebook or visit our website.for more details to get all your hurricane preparedness supplies and gear.

CREDIT UNION LAUNCHES PROGRAM TO SUPPORT FARMERS - RAYNEAU INDUSTRIES TO MARKET PRODUCE

With its upcoming  45^tth Anniversary,  the St Vincent and Grenadines Teachers' Co-operative Credit Credit Union Ltd  has taken  the initiative  to support  farmers  -  this must have been seen aa a positive move by the St Vincent and the Grenadines farmers , knowing full well that Rayneau Industries provides them with a guaranteed market for their products. Mr. Gajadhar puts it this way, “Agriculture in St Vincent gets plenty support. Farmers [are] now confident to take loans to farm as Rayneau buys most Agricultural products. Rayneau provides a guaranteed market to Farmers.”

This must have very well been the rationale behind this move by the Credit Union – a guaranteed market to sell produce. Farmers are offered up to $25,000.00 at an interest rate of 1.5% per month under the theme, “Plant for your Future.”

The formation of RAYNEAU INDUSTRIES, a newly formed food export business in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, has taken on the task to provide a marketing platform, initially for the farmers of St Vincent and the Grenadines.  As of Wednesday, 22nd, March 2023, Rayneau Industries has been exporting farmer’s produce via container from St. Vincent and the Grenadines to the United States Virgin Islands.

 CEO of Rayneau Industries Mr. Rayneau Gajadhar noted that this first success has opened limitless opportunities to the farmers in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the rest of the OECS. He stated that “We have started in SVG to work with the farmers to create an export platform that can create excellent someday payment to farmers. Together we will make this work”.

Many have preached the need for a consolidated marketing platform created through a public/private partnership, but it took the vison and wisdom of our very own to  start a consolidated marketing of  the OECS agricultural produce. It is a wake-up call to all stakeholders in the agriculture sector to expand production exponentially.
