“Typhoon Haiyan is one of the biggest storms to occur on planet Earth and has left manymillions in the Philippines without access to electricity, food, and clean water.<\/p>\n

According to CNN: \u201cIn the\u00a0aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan<\/a>, nights are often the hardest. It\u2019s dark. It\u2019s wet. It can be scary. There\u2019s little to do, and, for many, even less to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n

For our part, Et\u00f3n Corp is donating 25% of all sales through\u00a0EtonCorp.com<\/a>\u00a0to Typhoon Haiyan relief.<\/p>\n

We are also working with San Jose-based non-profit Project PEARLS to donate $140,000 worth of our\u00a0preparedness products<\/a>\u00a0to help survivors in the Philippines gain access to invaluable information, light, and power.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe San Francisco Bay Area is home to one of the largest Filipino populations in\u00a0the\u00a0United States and as a company based here, we feel personally touched as we have neighbors, co-workers and friends that are personally affected by this tragedy\u00a0\u2013\u00a0our\u00a0thoughts\u00a0go out to everyone affected by\u00a0the\u00a0storm,\u201d\u00a0said Esmail Hozour of Et\u00f3n Corporation.\u00a0\u201cWe hope that through these donations, we can do our part to help in the relief efforts for those in the hardest hit areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the past 30 years, Et\u00f3n has worked to create and distribute products that help people recover from tragedy caused by severe weather near and far. From the\u00a0Moore, Oklahoma tornado<\/a>\u00a0earlier this year to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, we hope to equip victims of natural disaster with the tools and peace of mind to move forward and persevere.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
