Serco stands ready to support FEMA and the citizens of our nation,' said Dave Dacquino, Chairman and CEO of Serco Inc. 'We are hard at work preparing our high-quality team of project managers, engineers, environmental planners, biologists, financial analysts, accountants, estimators and other professionals needed to support the next time disaster strikes. We look forward to supporting FEMA to assist state and local governments and other eligible applicants in responding to, and recovering from Presidentially-declared disasters.'
