Robert Ramsey, executive vice president, was tapped to lead the division. He has years of similar experience at the company, having provided disaster-recovery services for numerous municipalities throughout the Southeast. The firm has also consulted with utility companies on disaster recovery and worked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency on recovery funding.
