Casey Hite, CEO and founder of medical equipment provider Aeroflow Health, knew something was wrong when their headquarters in Asheville, North Carolina experienced a power blip on Sept. 28. But it wasn’t until he received the call that one of his employees’ houses had been washed away that he fully understood the severity of the situation.
“We immediately started outreach to every employee in our directory, whether that was through text, email or phone calls — we even had folks riding ATVs from their homes to check on another employee,” Hite says. “Our first priority was accounting for all of our employees to make sure that they were safe.”
