Dear Friends:
Hurricanes Irma and Harvey served notice of Mother Nature’s overwhelming force, each in its own way. High winds and flooding have had serious consequences for many who live on or near the Gulf of Mexico. The most valuable resource Curran has is our people – who make it all happen. For some, lives have been disrupted, and temporary remedies have been found. Home or car flooding claims now wait for the repair and replacement process to gain momentum. Thankfully, all are accounted for.
Curran International survived Harvey, as it deluged the Texas Gulf Coast. Our Houston-area shop returned to normal operations within days of the hurricane. The severity of property damage inflicted by tropical storms is somewhat the result of the its path. The chance of a direct hit is a factor we all live with on the Gulf Coast.
Gulf Coast industrial plant maintenance and turnaround plans for the coming months promise to change as a result of hurricane forced shutdowns. But, Curran has been groomed to adapt to industry demands, and respond to the expectations of a 24/7 industry. The essential activities of rebuilding homes and communities will likely go on for years. We live, work and recreate on the Gulf Coast by choice. We will muscle through the challenges left by Harvey and Irma!
Gratefully,
Ed Curran
