SEATTLE, Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- EcoFlow, a leading
company in portable and eco-friendly energy solutions, has launched
the "EcoFlow Power For Rescues" program. This program is part of
the company's corporate social responsibility initiative, "EcoFlow
Power For All", and aims to provide reliable, flexible, and clean
power support to disaster-stricken areas and rescue organizations
worldwide. Additionally, it supports disaster preparedness and
rescue training to safeguard more lives.
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the
number of extreme weather disasters has increased fivefold in the
past 50 years. In the face of increasingly frequent disasters,
providing power for rescue operations, disaster area settlements,
disaster preparedness, and rescue personnel training is crucial to
ensuring the safety of more lives.
Bruce Wang, CEO and founder of
EcoFlow, said: "Disaster preparedness are the primary reason many
users choose EcoFlow, which makes us deeply understand that
reliability is a common need when people face critical moments.
Through close collaboration with global rescue organizations,
governments, hospitals, and shelters, we continuously provide
reliable power support in emergencies to assist in rescue and
disaster relief efforts. Additionally, we actively support disaster
preparedness and rescue training to help more people understand how
to build reliable emergency preparations in their daily lives to
protect themselves and their families."
Providing Reliable Power for Rescue Emergencies
During the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan, EcoFlow donated 76 portable power
stations, 17 solar panels, power banks and disaster preparedness
boxes to non-profit organizations and companies in the cities of
Nanao, Komatsu, and Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture. These supplies
were used in local shelters, providing emergency power for 40,000
affected people.
During the 2024 floods in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, the Estrela Hospital in the state
received critically ill patients from several nearby cities, but
frequent power outages posed safety risks for many patients.
EcoFlow donated a batch of portable power stations to the hospital
to ensure the stable operation of medical and medication storage
equipment, protecting patients' lives.
Focusing on Daily Disaster Preparedness and Rescue
Training
Daily disaster preparedness is also an essential part of the
EcoFlow Power For Rescues program. The program installed EcoFlow
portable power stations and solar panels at tsunami evacuation
towers in Isumi City, Japan. When
disasters cause power outages, these power stations provide
emergency electricity for evacuees. The program also donated
portable power stations to 10 rescue teams under China's Blue Sky Rescue Team and Dawn Rescue
Alliance to help them solve power issues during rescue
operations.
Additionally, the Power for Rescues program has partnered with
St John Ambulance Cymru in Wales
for a 12-month collaboration, conducting 67 demonstration and
awareness training sessions in schools and community groups
throughout north, south, and west Wales. This project is expected to provide
professional rescue training to 1000 individuals, contributing to
community safety and the development of professional rescue
personnel.
