We have all watched this weekend as Hurricane Harvey roared onto land near Corpus Christi, Texas, and deluged the Houston area with unprecedented amounts of rain. Flooding streets, washing out bridges, and sending residents scrambling to higher ground, Harvey is expected to continue for several more days.
At PSMJ, our thoughts are with our clients, customers, and everyone impacted by the flood and storm damage in Texas.
In the weeks, months, and years that lie ahead, the recovery effort from this historic weather event will surely be like no other. It is in times like these that the architecture and engineering industry makes us all proud by rising to the challenge, and providing valuable rebuilding support, resources, and expertise.
Ours truly is an industry where we can all do good for the community by simply following our passion and the underlying missions of our organizations.
When Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, our team at PSMJ was so humbled and honored to play a small role in the recovery with the Gulf Coast Rebuilding Fund. So many design firm leaders from around the country and around the world pledged their support and facilitated recovery for impacted residents of Bay St. Louis, Missouri.
If those efforts serve as an example, the people of Texas will be in good hands when the impacted region moves into recovery mode, and the dedicated and driven professionals of the A/E industry come ready to lend a hand.
Stay strong, Texas.
