PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Diversified miner BHP will donate $1-million to the American Red Cross to assist in relief efforts in Louisiana, following Hurricane Ida.

The donation will assist the Red Cross in providing food, shelter, and financial assistance to families in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes, and BHP will also provide a double match for any donations made to the Red Cross by its employees through its matched giving programme.

“The devastation caused by Hurricane Ida has been widespread, and our thoughts are with all who are affected,” BHP petroleum president Geraldine Slattery said.

“Two areas that have been impacted severely are the Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes of Louisiana, where many are in a state of emergency and in urgent need of help from organizations like the Red Cross.”

“BHP is committed to the safety and wellbeing of those in the communities where we live and work, and we will continue to offer a helping hand where it is needed as Louisiana begins the recovery process.”

BHP on September 2 started to re-staff its Shenzi oil and gas platform, in the Gulf of Mexico, after no damage was identified on the platform following Hurricane Ida.
