CEO DALE BUCKNER Interviewed From on the ground in Naples, FLOrida

CEO Dale Buckner talks to CNN about Global Guardian’s efforts in supporting clients impacted by Hurricane Ian: “For us, it’s all about speed and response. On Monday we put assets and people in Jacksonville Florida, Miami, Bradenton, Fort Meyers and Naples not knowing where the final storm would hit. Ultimately, once we knew the final path, we adjusted where those assets were. The storm then hit Fort Meyers at about 3:00pm local. By about 7:30pm that evening, we were executing our first high-water emergency response missions to get people out of their homes.”
