IRVING, Texas (April 3, 2019)– The Fluor Foundation has donated $50,000 to the American Red Cross in support of its continued humanitarian relief efforts in Mozambique following the devastating effects of Cyclone Idai in March.
“The unprecedented devastation resulting from Cyclone Idai will be felt for years to come,” said Torrence Robinson, President of The Fluor Foundation. “Natural disasters of this magnitude require a far reaching collective response. We are pledging our resources to help those that have been impacted by this tragedy.”
Described as the worst natural disaster to hit Mozambique, the cyclone unleashed hurricane-force winds and heavy rains that caused death and destruction across the southeastern coastal African country triggering an instant humanitarian crisis.
Cyclone Idai ranks as the second deadliest tropical cyclone in recorded history.
Fluor has had an ongoing presence in Mozambique since 2012.
