2012
The City of Portland Bureau of Emergency Management endorsed the Twin-Bucket Emergency Toilet. We developed public leaflet based on The Cloacina Project‘s Sewer Catastrophe Companion. PHLUSH spoke at 18 community events. We launched a newsletter Pee, Poo and You! and participated in Reinventing the Toilet events at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We hosted a 3-day visit to Portland of World Toilet Organization Founder Jack Sim. World Toilet Day was observed with an emergency sanitation campaign. A travel grant enabled Abby Brown to represent PHLUSH at the World Toilet Summit in Durban, South Africa.
