AWWA encourages its members to get involved in relief efforts for Haiti disaster

Yesterday, the American Water Works Association recommended to its members to get implicated in recovery efforts following Tuesday’s devastating earthquake in Haiti by making a donation to agencies such as Catholic Relief Services and Mercy Corps.  

In a press release published yesterday, AWWA Interim Executive Director Paula MacIlwaine says: ”As a water community, we are all keeny aware of the water-related crises the earthquake will introduce. Access to safe drinking water is frequently among the first threats to survivors in impacted areas. The threat of waterborne disease may persist as the emergency response concludes and the reconstruction effort begins”.

As an AWWA member, H2O Innovation supports the Association’s efforts and encourages everyone who can to make monetary donations to contribute to the rescue and recovery efforts.
