Supporting customers for their industrial needs might be what we do, but supporting the PEOPLE in need in our local communities is who we are! Countless families have been impacted by Hurricane Beryl in the Houston area, including some of our own team who sustained damage to their homes. With our headquarters on the Gulf Coast, we know all-too-well the devastation that comes with a direct hit from a Hurricane, and the messy aftermath it leaves in its wake for years to come. But even in tragedies there are always those who rise up to the challenge. Often, the worst times can bring out the best in people. 💪 As Mr. Rogers would say: "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." Which brings us to the point of this post... ➡Houston, we're asking you to help us help the helpers! If you know of a local organization or non-profit that's doing great things to help in the aftermath of Beryl, please drop their names or tag them in the comments below. In addition to providing them with some well-deserved recognition, we'd like to reach out to some of them and see how EcoTech can help them! (Particularly those smaller organizations that don't come with bottomless budgets.) If you just want to give a shout-out to an individual you know who has been helping, please do that as well! #hurricaneberyl #beryl #houstonstrong #houston #houstontx #texas #prayforhouston #houstonhelp #nonprofits

UPDATED – Information on how to support our Caribbean Community – Hurricane Beryl Aid Relief. ⬇️ Please share. Hurricane Beryl has caused widespread damage, destruction, power outages and disruption to water supplies and telecommunications in the South Eastern Caribbean. After hitting Barbados with high winds and storm surge, the hurricane continued its path, causing further damage in Dominica, Saint Lucia, St Vincent, Jamaica and the Grenadines, and more extensively to Grenada. The most severe devastation has been in Grenada’ sister islands of, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, and the Grenadine islands of Union and Bequia. The impact on Jamaica has been less severe than feared, however some parishes, Manchester and St Elizabeth have suffered serious damage. The scenes of the devastation across the islands are heartbreaking with many people left homeless, many businesses destroyed, and loss of life. Kindly consider supporting the relief effort. HOW TO SUPPORT: We will be making donations to each of the following and we hope you will join us in supporting and disseminating the various initiatives to raise funds and collect resources for those affected by Hurricane Beryl. These communities urgently require tarpaulins, roofing materials, and basic supplies to address immediate needs and ensure safety. Water supplies are also required.

Tropical Storm Ernesto is battering Puerto Rico. Team Rubicon is there. Back in September 2017, Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico. In the wake of the devastation, Team Rubicon rebuilt over 500 roofs to the highest standards. This #investment was made possible by supporters like GAF and the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, along with a strong partnership with #FEMA, St Vincent dePaul, and contractors throughout the island. In a year, the team built over 500 hurricane rated roofs that keep families dry and protected from the storms year after year. Watch to see how we did it. As a “#for_impact” organization, TR is dedicated to expressing gratitude to those who invest in our mission. Unlike simply donating, investing signifies a long-term commitment where the funds continue to make a positive impact into the future. #INVESTMENT: Our volunteers keep enhancing their skills and abilities, returning each year to help those in need. We now have over 170,000. #INVESTMENT: Our services transform lives by reducing stress, maintaining value, facilitating a quicker return to normalcy, and building resilience for future challenges. Children rest safely in a rebuilt home. Families can concentrate on what matters when fallen trees are cleared. Homes do not become mold-infested when they are properly cleaned out. Be a part of something big and lasting. Support or volunteer! www.teamrubiconusa.org Christopher Gaffney, Pully Torres, Hilda Vlachopoulou, Mike Lee, Juan Carlos (JC) Ortiz Giró, David Venables https://lnkd.in/gfXJ_KEc

As a company deeply committed to Latin America, we remain dedicated to raising awareness and gathering support for those suffering from the impact of Hurricane Otis in Mexico. While its news coverage is gradually fading, we cannot forget the profound suffering endured by the people of Acapulco, Guerrero. The hurricane's fury demolished critical infrastructure, cut off basic services, and tragically resulted in casualties and missing individuals. The situation is dire, and the people of Acapulco are enduring unimaginable hardships. Due to the severe lack of food, water, and essential supplies, the desperation of the affected communities has escalated. Vandalism has ravaged the commercial stores in Acapulco to the point where there are no longer any shops to purchase much-needed provisions. We ask you to continue donating and sending your thoughts and prayers to those affected by Hurricane Otis in Mexico. Your generosity and compassion can make a significant difference in the lives of those who have lost so much. Please see below for information on where you can donate: Cruz Roja Mexicana:  https://lnkd.in/gA795fQ Centro de Ayuda para Desastres y Emergencias Nacionales A.C. (CADENA) https://cadena.ngo/mexico/ El Centro Nacional de Apoyo para Contingencias Epidemiológicas y Desastres, A. C.

Team Rubicon Myth #4: It is best to donate after disaster strikes, when needs are known. Over 14 years of TR's existence, we've built a team of volunteers with skills and training critical to alleviating suffering after disaster strikes. As an example, when a hurricane strikes, we'll have to perform sawyer work, heavy equipment will be needed to move debris, and core operation training will remove soaked materials before mold sets in. The reality is ANY delay in funding extends the recovery and the challenges for those impacted. Like I used to say in my days as a Topgun instructor, "Speed is Life". This holds true for tornadoes, fires, floods, and hurricanes. Today Hurricane Beryl is projected to be a major hurricane - it's in the news - and it will likely have impact. Consider donating today to fuel Beryl and every mission that our 180 thousand volunteers tackle - I know Team Rubicon will be responding as we have all year. Beryl could be our 50th operation year-to-date. To donate, please visit teamrubiconusa.org/give #BuiltToServe #GSD #MakeHurricanePreparationsNow
