Disaster Response Team

DRT Year End Update

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the 256 companies that signed up for our Disaster Response Network this past year. 51 of those companies worked in 24 markets, logging over 3400 days on the job for which they were paid over $3M.

The biggest event we worked last year was the flash flood that hit Houston in mid-May. At one point in June, we had 45 trucks operating in the Houston market.

We also worked ice storms and snow storms in the states of OH, MA, NY, RI, WV and more flash floods in other parts of TX, OR and WA.

We were prepared to answer the call for two hurricanes and although we were not needed in either case, I appreciate everyone who said, "We are ready."

Thanks again. I look forward to working with you again in 2016.
