A message from our international US partner Allied International in the wake of the Texas storm.
"First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers are with all of our customers, agents, staff, drivers and all people in the areas impacted by Hurricane Harvey and the lingering tropical storm. The situation with this storm is ongoing and extremely fluid though clearly there is a tremendous impact along the Texas Gulf Coast and into Louisiana. Specifically for Houston we can advise the following:
- Many of our agents in the Houston market are still closed due to the flooding and are assessing the situation on an hourly basis.
- Over 500 roads and highways in the metropolitan area are closed due to flooding.
- George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) closed to all inbound & outbound commercial flights until further notice.
- The port of Houston/Galveston will remain closed until Thursday, August 31st
Our teams are working closely with our agent & vendor networks to try and provide the most current update and necessary assistance for all our customer and clients affected by this disaster."
