In the days leading up to Hurricane Idalia’s landfall, the
manufacturing leader gathered provisions for distribution,
including 200 flashlights, 150 first-aid kits, 500 tarps, 38,304
bottles of water, 200 extension cords, 2,304 batteries, 480
electrolyte replacement sports drinks, and 240 insect repellants,
among several other items.
On Friday, Sept. 8, team members from PGT Innovations filled two
PGT Innovations semi-trailers with over $100,000 worth of emergency
supplies, then traveled over 235 miles to Steinhatchee. The free,
post-storm aid event was held on Saturday, Sept. 9, at the
Steinhatchee Marina located at 104 First Avenue SW and was open to
the public. The event attracted more than 100 individuals.
Additionally, two large pick-up shipments were loaded on box
trucks for delivery to two smaller communities impacted by the
storm, with enough supplies for 20 people on each truck, and a
local church pastor was given enough supplies for an additional 10
people in need, extending the reach of the relief effort.
“We are very fortunate that we have the ability to provide
essential supplies to families in the impacted areas during this
extremely trying time,” said Jeff Jackson, President and CEO of PGT
Innovations. “Our hope is that these supplies will offer immediate
relief to the residents, help them know they are not alone during
this difficult time, and support their journey towards rebuilding
their lives and communities.”
Hurricane Idalia briefly reached Category 4 intensity before
making landfall as a Category 3 storm along the coast of Keaton
Beach, Fla. on the morning of Wednesday, Aug. 30, with maximum
sustained winds of approximately 125 miles per hour according to
the National Hurricane Center. It was the strongest recorded storm
to make landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region in more than 125
years.
