S.E.R.T. Case Studies on Disaster Response Efficacy

In Swadley’s Emergency Relief Team’s 25-year history, we have responded to a wide variety of different disasters and emergencies. Whether it be after a flood, ice storm, hurricane or tornado, S.E.R.T. has arrived in force within hours, providing everything from lights, water and power to lodging, laundry and full-service catering.

But most importantly, what we provide in disaster response and emergency logistics scenarios is a palpable sense of relief – a chance for those involved to take a break, find some peace of mind and breathe.

Emergency Operations Success Stories

Below you can see just a few examples of how S.E.R.T. has responded to several different kinds of emergencies. We have provided camps for hundreds of hardworking linemen working non-stop to restore power after a storm. We have assisted in relief efforts after hurricanes and floods. We have even assisted entire municipalities when tornadoes decimated the town and reduced their functioning capacity to next-to-nothing.
