Simpson Strong-Tie has donated $20,000 to the American Red Cross, partner of the Myanmar Red Cross Society (MRCS), in support of efforts following the 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar on March 28. The earthquake is reported to have killed at least 3,000 people and counting, injured thousands more, and damaged or destroyed innumerable buildings and vital infrastructure.<\/p>\n
As search-and-rescue efforts continue, Myanmar Red Cross volunteers are providing a range of services on the ground, including administering first aid, providing pre-hospital care, distributing emergency relief items such as blankets, tarpaulins, and hygiene kits, and deploying mobile health teams to the most affected communities. The organization\u2019s Restoring Family Links program is also helping to reconnect separated families.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe loss of life and destruction caused by the Myanmar earthquake are unthinkable, and our hearts are with the people there,\u201d said Simpson Strong-Tie President and CEO Mike Olosky. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful for the efforts of the American and Myanmar Red Cross organizations to support victims across the region, and we hope that our donation can help them continue their important work.\u201d<\/p>\n
This contribution reflects the company\u2019s ongoing commitment to aid in disaster relief and recovery efforts around the world. To donate, visit redcross.org.<\/p>\n
