In addition, personnel from the company's onsite Fire and Rescue Team were dispatched to Cullman, Ala., to assist emergency responders.
The company notes that many of its team members have families, friends, and relatives who have been affected by the storms.
"As residents of the Gulf Coast, we have a special sensitivity to the destruction, danger, and disruption to lives and property related to weather disasters," said Scott Posey, Director of Communications. "Our area here on the Gulf Coast has often depended on the support and generosity of other Alabama communities in the past, and will likely do so in the future.”
