Tidal Basin has been a big part of our hurricane response team for the past 6 years providing excellent, professional service for the staff and residents of the City of Aventura. During this time, we experienced two major storm events and we utilized your debris monitoring and FEMA documentation services which both were very exceptional. We could not have weathered those events without you.

Public Works/Transportation Director - City of Aventura
The University of Miami has been working with Tidal Basin for over 10 years and they are a valued partner. I have had the pleasure of working with them for the past year, which includes completing work related [to] Hurricane Irma, staging for Hurricane Dorian, and currently COVID-19. They have proved very knowledgeable in the navigation of the FEMA reimbursement process... As their client you get access to all their team members and resources.

When Hurricane Katrina struck, bringing with it widespread flooding and damage, the City of Slidell took the brunt of the storm. Located just 30 miles north of New Orleans, the two cities were both hit full-force by the destructive power of the hurricane. Unfortunately for Slidell, the nation first focused on the recovery of New Orleans. The City of Slidell didn't begin its recovery operations under Adjusters International had been hired, bringing the expertise required to turn the recovery process around.
