RE 1 Recovery Services, LLC.

RE 1 Recovery Services presentation for vendors.

Since 2022, there have been over 28 disaster events in the USA. Predictions for the future show that this trend will continue.

These events could range from natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes and fires to cyberattacks, supply chain issues, or even public health emergencies.

Our team (led by Chip Olson) has managed over $600,000,000 in real estate assets and has managed facilities for financial institutions. Chip saw a need for recovery management and recovery procurement for pre and post events. Our goal with RE 1 Recovery Services, LLC is to meet that need on a nationwide basis.

Here are key reasons why having a RE 1 Recovery Services’ team is vital:

Protect Employees and Customers: A well-prepared team ensures the safety of employees and customers by following established emergency protocols. This builds trust and demonstrates a commitment to everyone’s well-being. Note: in dealing with hurricanes for 30 years the biggest problem that businesses and communities have is getting employees back to work.
