DANA in Valencia has left a deep mark on our community, and in times like these, at Idrica, together with Xylem and Global Omnium, we believe in the importance of acting swiftly and with commitment. That’s why we have launched a series of initiatives to provide direct support: 🔹 Direct support for those affected: We have arranged assistance to facilitate access to temporary housing and vehicles for those who have lost theirs. Additionally, we are channeling essential materials (brushes, boots, gloves, buckets, and more) to the organizations that have requested them. 🔹 Enabling our team’s commitment: ➡️ Volunteering: We are offering a paid day off so that our team can assist those in greatest need. ➡️ Crowdfunding: We have set up a channel to directly support our affected colleagues. ➡️ Donations: We have organized a collection of personal hygiene products, non-perishable food, items for individuals with specific needs, and other essential supplies. 🔹 Xylem’s initiatives to amplify support: ➡️ Collection of essential materials: From Xylem Madrid, Lisbon and Barcelona, cleaning products, hygiene supplies, clothing, and food have been sent, which have been delivered in Valencia along with our own collections. ➡️ Emergency support: Coordinating with UME, the Valencia Fire Consortium, and local teams to mobilize our entire drainage fleet. ➡️ Collaboration with a water utility: Sending 150,000 kg of drinking water, as well as plumbers and vehicles, to help restore water supply in affected homes. 🔹 Global Omnium’s commitment: Global Omnium has intensified efforts to detect and repair leaks to ensure the water supply is restored as quickly as possible in the affected areas. They have mobilized a team of 150 workers, along with additional resources, in coordination with local authorities and organizations. Thank you to everyone contributing to these efforts! 💙 Sources: Xylem Spain, Global Omnium #CommunitySupport #TogetherForValencia #WaterManagement
