Nationwide Disaster Relief Services
Whether it’s ice storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes or anything else that comes our way, the best we can do is lend each-other a helping hand and begin the process of rebuilding.
Of course, the challenge of rebuilding is simplified when you have a partner on your side with a 25-year history of responding to emergencies and natural disasters. At Swadley’s Emergency Relief Team (S.E.R.T.), our object is to mobilize quickly and show up in force at a moment’s notice, with everything from infrastructure like lodging tents, generators and lighting to full catering kitchens, meal tents and even laundry service – all to support the critical first responders on the scene. And since we work in the hospitality industry, you can rest assured that our qualified staff carries food certification and has passed criminal background checks.
Emergency Relief & Disaster Response Services
We’re here to provide for every conceivable need in the midst of disaster relief efforts. Whether it’s after a torrential storm, unforeseen emergency or any other massive event, S.E.R.T. is equipped with the equipment, full-time staff of 600 and time-tested know-how to get the job done and oversee your emergency response site.
Beyond our own fleet of equipment, we have sources and trusted contacts across the nation to acquire any equipment that might be necessary. We can provide as much or as little as your situation demands.

Proven Partnerships
When disaster strikes, local communities launch into recovery mode. Those first responders – whether linemen, utility workers or the cities themselves – need support. In S.E.R.T.’s 25+ years of experience, we have partnered with a variety of institutions to provide fast, reliable, comprehensive disaster relief services, including comprehensive camps, infrastructure, lodging and excellent food.
