Dow and UCC Respond to Employee and Community Needs in Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina Aftermath

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, many Dow and UCC employees are offering their hands and their hearts towards many relief efforts throughout the community – volunteering their personal time in shelters, sharing their home with displaced families, and taking part in donation drives to help evacuees. Dow has been part of this community for many years and we are committed to help Louisiana recover.

Jambalaya
Volunteers from Dow’s Louisiana Operations in Plaquemine came in the week after the storm to St. Charles Operations in Hahnville to cook enough pots of jambalaya to provide lunch for everyone at the site–more than 2,000 employees and contract employees.
Loading medical supplies
Shortly after Hurricane Katrina passed, Dow authorized the use of its planes and the Louisiana Aviation Department team donated about 25 flight hours (personal time) over six days and other coordination activities to Remote Air Medical (RAM). RAM is a Knoxville, Tennessee, nonprofit group that transports doctors, nurses, paramedics and medical supplies in emergency situations all over the world.

St. Charles Operations is owned by Union Carbide Corporation (UCC), a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company. "Dow", as used throughout this web site, often refers generically to The Dow Chemical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
