Chemical Plant Hurricane Temporary Facilities & Food Services
Loss Event: Hurricane
Project Overview: Following a devastating Category 4 hurricane in Southwest Louisiana, a leading chemical company contacted Cotton Logistics and tasked the team with providing temporary facilities and services to employees at their site. Together with Cotton Culinary, Cotton Logistics provided food, laundry, and showers for the company’s employees despite changing deadlines and schedules, the threat of a second hurricane, and a global pandemic.
