RACINE,
Wis., May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tidewater
Equipment, a CASE Construction Equipment dealer with locations in
southern Georgia, Enterprise, Alabama, and portions of the
Florida panhandle, has donated
equipment and support for Team Rubicon's recent tornado disaster
response and recovery efforts in Selma,
Alabama.
On January 12, 2023, multiple
tornadoes hit the Southeastern United
States. One of which was a category F3 tornado that touched
down in Selma, Alabama — a city
that was still recovering from Hurricane Zeta, and the tornadoes of
2021. The storm hit the city hard, leaving vehicles overturned in
the streets, homes destroyed, and lives lost. Team Rubicon, a veteran-led volunteer humanitarian
organization, having already deployed to Selma in recent years on a multi-year
rebuilding program, knew that it was time for action.
Tidewater Equipment provided three CASE TV370 compact track
loaders, equipped with buckets and root grapple attachments to help
Team Rubicon with the intense cleanup operation that took place
between January 23 and March 10,
2023. The machines and attachments were generously extended
by Tidewater Equipment to ensure that Team Rubicon had the support
needed to complete their mission.
"As a company with locations and customers throughout the
southeastern Unites States, we understand the realities that
catastrophic weather can bring," said Kevin
Pittman, manager of Construction Equipment & Equipment
Rental Divisions at Tidewater Equipment. "We recognize the noble
work of Team Rubicon and the relief they bring to help rebuild
communities when disaster strikes. Tidewater Equipment was honored
to provide machines to make their tough work just a little bit
easier."
Tidewater Equipment has been a trusted equipment dealer for over
70 years, with a commitment to providing quality equipment and
service to their customers. The company's newest location in
Enterprise, Alabama — which opened
less than a year ago — donated the equipment for this Team Rubicon
operation and to support their local community.
"Our partnership with CASE allows us to provide the best
equipment to our customers, and to those in need during disaster
relief efforts. We appreciate the opportunity to support Team
Rubicon and their efforts to rebuild communities impacted by this
terrible storm system," said Pittman.
CASE also appreciates Tidewater Equipment's partnership and the
support they have given to help provide equipment to disaster
relief efforts during hurricane season. With the recent extreme
weather and tornadoes that have impacted the South, it is vital to
have strong partnerships like the one between Tidewater Equipment
and CASE to help support those in need.
"Our dealers are critical partners in helping us provide
equipment to those who need it most," said Terry Dolan, vice president – North America, CASE Construction Equipment.
"We are proud to work with Team Rubicon, Tidewater Equipment and
our other dealers to support disaster relief efforts and to provide
the best equipment to help rebuild communities impacted by natural
disasters."
Team Rubicon is a veteran-led
humanitarian organization that serves global communities before,
during, and after disasters and crises. Founded in 2010, Team
Rubicon has deployed across the United
States and around the world to provide immediate relief to
vulnerable communities who have been impacted by hurricanes,
tornadoes, COVID-19 and more.
CASE first partnered with Team Rubicon in 2015 to develop a
heavy equipment training program for its volunteers for the safe
and effective use of construction equipment in disaster operations.
