Universal Handles Harvey
The company activated the business continuity plan it developed after 2008's Hurricane Ike.

Hurricane Harvey dumped four feet of rain on the Texas Gulf Coast in late August and left hundreds of thousands homeless, but Houston-based Universal Weather and Aviation didn't miss a beat, servicing its usual volume of 100 flights per day worldwide during the storm. The trip support, flight planning and handling company implemented a business continuity plan to ensure that customers experienced uninterrupted service. The plan was drafted after 110-mph Hurricane Ike slammed into Galveston and then denuded downtown Houston of much of its glass in 2008, leaving $29 billion in destruction in its wake. Damage from Harvey is expected to top $70 billion.
