DEL MAR, Calif., Oct 19, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Homeland Security Group International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:HMSG) announced today that the Gulf States Security Alliance (GSSA) business division has signed security contracts to provide security for public utility crews attempting to restore power and repair downed lines in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita. Operating under a FEMA contract, utility crews in the Beaumont and Port Arthur, Texas areas are working 24/7 to restore electrical power to the region. GSSA member agencies have been contracted to provide physical security for personnel and equipment assigned to this effort. The management team from HMSG has made numerous trips to the region to meet with member agencies and conduct security for emergency response units. HMSG has also conducted meetings with local, state and federal emergency management agencies and has participated in briefings with officials at emergency command posts established to oversee relief efforts in the aftermath of recent hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
"The goal of the GSSA has been to partner with locally licensed security providers in the region, and employ local security guards on a sub-contract basis thereby putting Texans back to work in their own state," commented Mark Wilson, Director of Security for Homeland Security Group International and managing director of GSSA. "While this region works to restore power and basic infrastructure to their cities, the GSSA assures their security by providing physical security for their work-sites, equipment and personnel."
