Providing Support to Clients Weathering a Storm

A Weather Event Like No Other

In a world where extreme weather events are becoming tragically more commonplace, we are proud to have been a helping hand to our clients in weather emergency-effected areas. Such was the case when a snowstorm brought Texas to a complete standstill in 2021. 

A forecasted “snow day” quickly turned into a catastrophic storm that left millions without power, forcing families to huddle in their cars just to stay warm. Power was not the only thing scarce; supply chain disruptions made it extremely difficult for many to find food. The below freezing temperatures, an anomaly in Texas, caused pipes to burst, disrupting water access for roughly half the population of the nation’s second most populous state.

Texas was severely impacted by water infrastructure damage, rolling blackouts, and lack of heat. Nearly every person was affected, as were the clients for which we provide facilities management services. 

Mobilizing To Support Our Clients

Despite the challenges our own teams faced personally, they rallied together to provide resources, services, and support to help clients and their teams when even basic needs like food and water were at stake.

While our own teams faced immense personal challenges themselves, they rallied together to provide the essential resources, services, and support our clients needed. With basic needs, like food and water, on the line, we are incredibly proud still of our team’s efforts to deliver these essentials in a time of need.
