Hurricane Harvey Relief from Carolinas AGC

As Carolinas AGC continues to learn more about the devastation throughout Texas and other states caused by Hurricane Harvey, AGC Charities is supporting members of the AGC family and their communities affected by this storm.

Carolinas AGC is proud to support this initiative and we invite you and your company to join the effort by donating to AGC Charities today.

Below is a personal note from the President & CEO of the AGC Houston Chapter, Jerry Nevlud:

To All:

Let me begin by thanking all of you who reached out to me over the past few days to ask how my family and members of our staff were faring during this incredible storm. For the most part everyone is doing well; uncertainty still surrounds two of our staffers, with one trying to get back home to see if it is flooded; the other still waiting to see if a rising river will cause damage to her home. Just a few short hours ago the rising of a reservoir near my home peaked with one foot to spare from my house. Hopefully no surprises!

Thank you to AGC Charities for its kind gesture and to all of you who have already forwarded that information to your membership; thank you as well to all my ELC colleagues who have offered direct support from your individual chapter. I have reached out to our Chapter leaders to begin discussing where to begin. As of now everyone is still trying to ensure the well-being and safety of their employees and their families. While more and more freeways and thoroughfares are now passable, getting to them through flooded neighborhood streets is still a problem. Therefore the AGC Houston office is currently closed and will reopen on Tuesday, September 5.

The Greater Houston region took a beating – the devastation is hard to imagine in some areas –  but Amy’s region in and around Corpus Christi, Jennifer in the Golden Triangle in southeast Texas and Ken’s area of eastern Louisiana will all need help as we move forward. We are blessed to have some incredibly generous citizens in this part of the world, and while a long haul, we will all be back. Your offers of help will not go unheeded.

I look forward to seeing those of you who will be in DC for the NCLC in late September. By then, Harvey will be thirty days in the rearview! For the record, there are a whole lot of Houstonians just waiting to get back to our 100 degree, 100 percent humidity, normal day in Houston.

Thank you all,

Jerry Nevlud
