To deny a person the ability to meet an essential biological need is an affront to human rights and personal dignity. Public restrooms are as essential to community well-being as sidewalks, traffic signals and street lighting.
Sanitation systems in the United States are vulnerable to natural disasters and the effects of climate change, including earthquakes, flooding, tornados, and sea level rise.
PHLUSH exists to ensure that human well-being and public health are maintained through equitable access to toilets/sanitation systems. We also aim to provide guidance for households and neighborhoods to be adequately prepared to manage sanitation in the wake of a disaster.
Mission
Through education and advocacy, PHLUSH helps local governments and citizen groups to provide equitable public restroom availability and to prepare for sanitation disasters with appropriate ecological toilet systems.
Vision
Toilet availability is a human right and well-designed sanitation systems restore health to our cities, our waters and our soils.
