Not Business as Usual
In today’s business environment, we have to be prepared for quick response to many out-of-the-ordinary situations. The Houston employees of MESA recently had to respond to one of those situations.
Building an ark to withstand a flood might have been all in a day’s work for Noah, but dealing with a flood isn’t in the standard job description for MESA employees. Heavy rains in the Houston area created flood conditions in areas that normally don’t flood. The Houston office for MESA is located near George Bush Intercontinental Airport and water levels in this area were almost four feet above ground level. Our office/warehouse had over one foot of water inside the building - damaging computers, furniture, equipment, and inventory.
After emptying out desks, ripping out carpet, and hosing muck out of the warehouse, we were able to have the office back in operation in two days. New computers were installed and connected to our Tulsa mainframe without disruption to sales and product delivery.
We are proud of the way our employees responded to an emergency situation and their commitment to maintaining uninterrupted service to our customers.
