In some places along the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Harvey has dumped more than 50 inches of rain, shattering storm records and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Tens of thousands of people have been affected by the damage wrought by the devastating storm.
These recent events have shown how strong the local area and its citizens are—a strength which will no doubt continue to shine through as the area begins the process of rebuilding and recovery. And Convergint colleagues are standing by to be a part of that process. They are mobilized and ready to bring their unique expertise to helping local businesses resume their operations in order to provide their services to their community.
