Storm season is coming and what we are trying to do is being proactive get our local contractors within the state of Louisiana and within the Stafford Act we have requirements to put those dollars back into the disaster area, no better way to do that than thought our contracting companies

Hans Hengens

I think is definitely very helpful for you know specially businesses who weren’t familiar on how to contract with the federal government. It was very helpful, very informative for me today, a lot of the stuff I was pretty much familiar with, but there were a few things that I was not aware with as far certain contracts with FEMA.

Joseph Threat
FEMA LRO Acting Director
Now is the time to talk to my contracts staff build that relationship and you know look for those opportunities for us when they come out in March you know hopping that all of you would get a chance a shoot of the work because we’ll have a lot of work to do

Our system allows you to be up running and to plan and control janitors anywhere where the building isn’t damaged.
Industry Day is very informative and we really appreciate it is has opened our eyes to opportunities with FEMA and also other government avenues
