In wake of weekend storms, fuel is transported to mission-critical businesses.
After the Midwest was rocked by a series of tornadoes and severe storms on Sunday, Nov. 17 that left an estimated 235,000 southeast Michigan homes and businesses without power, Atlas Oil’s Emergency Fueling Solutions (EFS) delivered more than 10,000 gallons of emergency fuel to local mission-critical businesses, including major food retailers, telecom companies and health care facilities in a 72 hour time frame.
This comes shortly after President Obama proclaimed November “Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience” month, noting emerging and evolving threats ranging from natural disasters to cyber attacks and calling for Americans to “remain vigilant against threats…and work together to secure our vital assets, systems, and networks.”
Supported by Atlas Oil’s vast supply network that spans across the Midwest and Southern U.S., EFS’ Generator Assurance Plan (GAP) and Fleet Assurance Plan (FAP) programs take clients out of unpredictable and vulnerable circumstances by guaranteeing fuel delivery in any situation.
“Whether it is delivering fuel across the country to Superstorm Sandy victims, or filling up generators of businesses locally in the region, Atlas is committed to doing our part to aid natural disaster recovery efforts,” said Atlas Oil Executive Vice President Bob Kenyon. “Widespread outages like this can be devastating for businesses of all sizes. We can’t stress the importance of emergency preparedness and planning enough for companies to keep operations running.”
