Galveston, Texas - July 9, 2024 - In response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Beryl, USPA Nationwide Security has swiftly deployed emergency fire watch and security services to the affected areas of Galveston and Houston, Texas. With over 2.3 million residents still without power amidst sweltering heat, the need for enhanced security and fire safety measures has never been more critical.
Hurricane Beryl, a powerful Category 1 hurricane, made landfall near Matagorda, Texas, early Monday morning, bringing wind gusts exceeding 90 mph, a life-threatening storm surge, and torrential rain. The storm's destruction has left extensive damage across the Houston metro area and East Texas, with at least eight confirmed fatalities and millions struggling without electricity.
As residents and businesses grapple with the aftermath, including widespread power outages and structural damage, USPA Nationwide Security has mobilized its emergency response teams to provide vital fire watch and security guard services. These services are crucial in preventing further disasters, such as fires that could be sparked by downed power lines and compromised electrical systems.
Brian Fitzgibbons, Fire Safety Expert and Senior Vice President of USPA Nationwide Security, emphasized the importance of immediate action: “In times of crisis, it is imperative to ensure the safety and security of our communities. Our teams are trained and equipped to handle emergencies, and we are committed to providing the necessary support to Galveston and Houston as they begin the recovery process.”
USPA Nationwide Security’s emergency deployment includes:
- Fire Watch Services: Monitoring vulnerable areas to prevent fires and ensure rapid response if an incident occurs.
- Security Guard Services: Protecting properties from looting and vandalism, ensuring the safety of residents and businesses.
- Disaster Recovery Assistance: Assisting in securing areas where power restoration and debris removal efforts are underway.
As the region endures oppressive heat with feels-like temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, the National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory. The combination of high temperatures and power outages poses significant health risks, making the presence of fire watch and security services even more vital.
USPA Nationwide Security urges all residents to adhere to safety guidelines, stay hydrated, and remain indoors whenever possible. The company remains dedicated to supporting the affected communities and ensuring a swift and safe recovery.
