The method of claim 12, further comprising providing a shower assembly having a shower portion, a water supply source, and a gray-water collection area. 14. The method of claim 12 wherein providing a decontamination and containment system further comprises providing a plurality of the decontamination stations in a collapsed condition and being deployable at the selected location. 15. The method of claim 14 wherein providing a decontamination and containment system further comprises deploying the plurality of the stations at the selected location. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising receiving one or more of contaminated and potentially contaminated personnel at a first station. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising collecting from one or more of the received personnel one or more external equipment carried by the personnel, and hanging the collected external equipment above ground level on a hanging assembly. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising removing one or more of footwear and hand coverings from respective feet and hands of one or more of the received personnel. 19. The method of claim 18, further comprising removing articles of clothing from one or more of the personnel in a manner to avoid contaminants on the clothing from contacting the skin of the personnel. 20.
