“With the extreme conditions and impact on local government and response agencies that was being experienced with the recent Tornadoes that ravaged Alabama, it is and was a great advantage to bring in a qualified and experienced group with a fresh set of eyes and perspective on the incident and its needs. The personnel were very knowledgeable about not only what was going on, but what needed to take place as well. With the fantastic support that the HELP Foundation provided as staff members, it made my job tremendously easier, that's for sure. Their IT support functions were critical aspects to a city that had lost 95% of its government operations facilities. I'm talking about complete destruction of the Police station, Fire Station and most of City Hall. Never, had I thought before about having to travel out of town just to get copies of the IAP for each day before, that's for sure. That's just one thing I have taken for granted up to this point.”

“Thank you and your team once again for your leadership and time in helping Lakewood Church leadership continue to formulate plans, policies and procedures for disaster response. We really have no way to thank you for the long hours, blood, sweat and tears you have poured into the trainings and preparation. I believe our best days are ahead! We will get there!” 

“Critical to developing a sound response program is trust. Tony and his team work diligently to build the foundational relationships necessary to break down barriers that otherwise stifle collaboration and communication. Truly, I think the ability to pool so many high-value trainers, Emergency Managers, and other critical resources is what makes the HELP Foundation successful. Relationships and networks are crucial to any organization's success, especially during an incident. Through the HELP Foundation, my network of contacts and resources has grown considerably. Not only do these folks really know their business, they pour their heart and sole into every project for their clients. It definitely warms the heart to watch these guys in action!”
