Alabama NewsCenter — Alabamians Support Communities and Businesses Recovering From Hurricane Ida

By Shirley Jackson

Cleanup continues after Hurricane Ida struck the Louisiana coastline with Category 4 winds that left parts of the state with a lack of water, flooded neighborhoods, severely damaged homes and businesses, massive power outages and fuel shortages. The water infrastructure was badly damaged, and treatment plants were without electricity, leaving communities with a shortage of drinking water.

With many communities and businesses still recovering, local companies across Alabama are sending life-sustaining relief supplies to help victims of Hurricane Ida:

Within 72 hours of Hurricane Ida, Coca-Cola Bottling Company UNITED worked with its College Park Coca-Cola Production Center in Georgia and donated 14,000 cases of specially produced drinking water in 12-ounce cans supplied by the Ball Corporation. As a part of the company’s outreach to communities, safe drinking water was transported by truck to affected residents in Louisiana and distributed by New Orleans Coca-Cola, a sales, distribution and production center of Coca-Cola UNITED.
