Hurricane Season 2008
Over the past two years, the Atlantic and Gulf Coast communities have been granted a reprieve from major storms and hurricanes when compared to the onslaught of 2005. However, this year these coast lines have faced one storm after another with no immediate end in sight. Dolly, Gustav and Ike have treated us rather severely. As always, Rimkus Consulting Group professionals are responding and will continue to be on the ground whenever and wherever 2008 storms leave a wake of destruction.
As you know, our clients have come to rely on Rimkus for thorough evaluation and reporting of the cause and extent of damages resulting from these storms so those affected can resolve insurance claims quickly and begin rebuilding. Our reputation for seeking the facts through proven scientific methods and representing those facts in an honest manner is above reproach and serves as the hallmark of our longevity in this industry.
Since many of you are once again immersed in the day-to-day tasks of evaluating and reporting storm damage for a variety of clients, I ask that you remain steadfast and aware of the important role you play in upholding the standing and heritage Rimkus Consulting Group has worked so hard to earn over the past 25 years. As I’ve said before, never lose sight of the fundamental principles that make this company great: Quality, Reliability and Integrity.
In the succinct words of Dwight D. Eisenhower, “The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.”
Thanks for your continued commitment to excellence as you undergo another active hurricane season.
Sincerely,
S. Frank Culberson
President and CEO
Rimkus Consulting Group
