Arctic Directory: AAL supplies Haiti rescue aid

American Air Liquide, a division of Air Liquide said Jan. 27 that it has been helping coordinate emergency assistance efforts with the United Nations Center for International Disaster to provide much-needed medical

oxygen to the rescue teams in Haiti. Due to Air Liquide’s footprint and logistics structure, it was able to establish its first medical filling system in Haiti on Jan. 16 and a second system on Jan. 18, providing medical

oxygen needs for a number of hospitals in the area and all of the temporary medical facilities and tents that are in operation at the U.N. compound. While support services are needed, monetary donations are also critical to recovery efforts. Air Liquide has coordinated with the American Red Cross to develop a microsite for employee donations, which will be matched dollar for dollar by the company until Feb. 28.
