Semper Sky is America’s force in disaster readiness. Privatizing disaster relief, similar to space exploration, is beneficial to all parties affected by a disaster. Insurance companies enjoy reduced claims. People in the affected area get ready, relevant, and responsive relief partnered with national guard, FEMA, Red Cross, Coast Guard, volunteers, and other stakeholders. The U.S. government gets to augment their own assets and assistance with Semper Sky’s assets and personnel as necessary. The end result is better preparedness for destructive weather. A business model like this would not work in 1994, but is very effective in 2024. Go to flysempersky.com for more.
