notes: FROM THE SITE 10/28/12 (LTEL): As Hurricane Sandy blasts its way north from the Caribbean, where it claimed more than five dozen lives, AmeriCares stands prepared to rush emergency aid and, if needed, deploy relief workers to areas hardest hit by the oncoming storm. Our U.S. and ER teams have reached out to 130 response partners in several states to assess potential needs and will be in continued contact as the storm progresses. In the meantime, our stock of targeted medicines and supplies is positioned for immediate shipment, with special focus on chronic care meds, first aid, water, family emergency kits, and other relief supplies. “This storm is going to affect the densely populated Eastern seaboard, and is likely to cause significant damage to homes and businesses and disrupt transportation systems,” said Garrett Ingoglia, AmeriCares vice president of emergency response. “This is going to be a very serious storm, and we are ready to help in any way we can.” The monstrous, Category 1 storm is predicted to make landfall on the mid-Atlantic shore on Monday, October 29, merging with a powerful cold front as it pounds its way northward and inland. Damaging 60-80 mph winds, torrential rains, dangerous storm surges, flooding, heavy snow in higher elevations and widespread power failures are expected. Officials estimate that the slow-moving system could affect 50-60 million people from the East Coast to the Great Lakes. A state of emergency has been declared in 8 states, and mass evacuations ordered in many coastal areas. The New York City mass transit and subway system are closing at 7:00 pm October 28 in anticipation of the storm's wrath. Hurricane response continues in Haiti Regardless of the hurricane's track, preparation is essential for people living in the storm’s path. In Haiti, where the storm caused severe flooding this week, AmeriCares responded swiftly with deliveries of cholera treatment and prevention supplies. The Haiti team also prepared hundreds of family emergency kits with disinfectants, cleaning products and first aid supplies, and replenished a dwindling stock of emergency medicines at a major hospital in Port-au-Prince.

notes: 88 Hamilton Ave. Stamford, CT USA 06902 From their website: From where do our relief supplies come? AmeriCares receives donations of medicines, medical supplies and other relief materials from some of the nation's most highly respected pharmaceutical companies as well as other corporations. Two warehouses, one each in the U.S. and Europe, store materials and make them available for immediate shipment. The warehouses are constantly being restocked with products that are continually shipped by sea and by air around the world. Corporate Partners * Abbott Laboratories. One of our most loyal supporters, Abbott has generously donated over $400 million of product to AmeriCares, providing life saving aid to people in over 100 countries. * AmerisourceBergen In the aftermath of the tsunami AmerisourceBergen mobilized its 14,000 employees across the country and from 17 AmerisourceBergen warehouses throughout the U.S, donated more than $1 million worth of antibiotics, antivirals and antimalarials to AmeriCares. * AstraZeneca is donating medicines. Following Katrina, many survivors in the Gulf Coast area with chronic health problems had difficulties accessing their prescriptions or refilling their medications. * Becton, Dickinson & Company...syringes and needles. * Bristol-Myers Squibb, BMS has provided AmeriCares with more than $200 million of critical medicines for over 60 countries. * Esprit Pharma focuses on specialty therapeutics for both urology and women's health care. The company's first donation consists of an important and useful antibiotic, ProQuin? XR that has a unique delivery of ciprofloxacin. * Henry Schein, Inc. Medical Supplies * Nestl頗aters North America. When devastating hurricanes hit the U.S. Gulf Coast in August and again in September 2005, AmeriCares turned to Nestl頠Waters with urgent requests. Nestl頗aters?s contributions of Bottled Water, valued at more than $38,000, helped AmeriCares bring vital relief to survivors in the affected areas. When a disaster strikes, AmeriCares relief experts assemble a needs list from the affected area. That list is matched against the warehouse inventory and if further provisions are needed, staff members contact corporate donors for the additional supplies. Over the years, more than 1,000 corporate donors have partnered with AmeriCares to provide life-saving aid in the form of medicines, vitamins, surgical and hospital equipment, blankets, milk products, food, disaster relief supplies, water purifiers, tents, vaccines and diapers. AmeriCares places a huge premium on accurately monitoring the distribution of all of our shipments. We have the know-how and expertise to respond responsibly and efficiently to all disasters. Strong relationships are maintained with highly capable and qualified people and organizations in countries around the world that provide accurate information and effective logistical support. There is continual contact with indigenous health care providers in many countries to ensure that the relief supplies are used responsibly. Over the years, invaluable experience has been gained in moving large quantities of medicine safely to areas where transportation is poor and the political situation unstable. Our world-renowned reputation for accountability has long since earned the confidence of the pharmaceutical and medical supply industries, in addition to our many financial supporters. AmeriCares is consistently one of the first humanitarian organizations to respond to worldwide disasters with urgently needed medical supplies. Our ability to respond quickly would not be possible without the generous contributions, both financial and in-kind, of many donors, especially our corporate partners. The AmeriCares humanitarian lifeline to the world extends across the globe every day. It also touches lives in the United States, reaching out to the uninsured through AmeriCares Free Clinics; to those in need of home repair through AmeriCares HomeFront; and to children infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS, through Camp AmeriKids. It is the compassionate concern shown by all in the AmeriCares community?employees, financial and in-kind donors, local partners and thousands of committed volunteers?that enables AmeriCares to help millions of people around the world. AmeriCares is an international relief organization whose passion to help is matched by an ability to deliver. Whether it's an epic disaster or a daily struggle, AmeriCares goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure that medicines, medical supplies and aid reaches individuals in need wherever they are, whenever they need it. In a quarter of a century, we have delivered more than $6 billion of aid to 137 countries. AmeriCares is an I.R.S. registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The AmeriCares Model For over two decades, the success of AmeriCares has been characterized by timely response, meaningful impact, high integrity and intense passion for the work. To deliver medicine, relief supplies and health care to the needy, AmeriCares has developed a platform based on strategic partnerships, high-efficiency and tight auditing procedures. Since its founding, AmeriCares has provided more than $6 billion of aid to 137 countries. To accomplish these results, AmeriCares assembles product donations from the private sector, determines the most urgent needs and solicits the funding to send the aid via airlift or ocean cargo to health and welfare professionals in the indigent locations. On the ground, AmeriCares works with international and local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's), hospitals, health networks and government ministries of long-standing effectiveness such as the Order of Malta, Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity, Adventist Development and Relief Agency International, HOPE Worldwide, Project Mercy, Centres pour le D鶥loppement et la Sant頡nd Help The Afghan Children. Two warehouses, one each in the U.S. and Europe, serve as assembly centers for inventory. In some instances, where products such as medicines or medical supplies are not available through conventional channels and the need is critical, AmeriCares applies funds for direct purchases. Uncompromising security procedures assure that the assistance is distributed to the designated beneficiaries and not diverted-for example, all-inclusive tracking of medicine by lot number and thorough follow-ups. The model is time-tested, cost-effective and experience-driven. Historically, auditing discloses that each $100 in cash contributions enables AmeriCares to deliver more than $3,000 in emergency relief, including medicines, medical supplies, clothing, footwear, blankets and nutritional supplements. -> Medicines and Emergency Aid Rushed to Joplin Shipments to Partner Clinics Address Shattered City’s “Urgent Need.” May 27, 2011 Amid the ruins that were once the heart of Joplin, MO, and in the shadow of what remains of St. John's Medical Center, AmeriCares tornado relief efforts are fully mobilized.

AmeriCares receives donations of medicines, medical supplies and other relief materials from some of the nation's most highly respected pharmaceutical companies as well as other corporations. Two warehouses, one each in the U.S. and Europe, store materials and make them available for immediate shipment. The warehouses are constantly being restocked with products that are continually shipped by sea and by air around the world. Corporate Partners * Abbott Laboratories. One of our most loyal supporters, Abbott has generously donated over $400 million of product to AmeriCares, providing life saving aid to people in over 100 countries. * AmerisourceBergen In the aftermath of the tsunami AmerisourceBergen mobilized its 14,000 employees across the country and from 17 AmerisourceBergen warehouses throughout the U.S, donated more than $1 million worth of antibiotics, antivirals and antimalarials to AmeriCares. * AstraZeneca is donating medicines. Following Katrina, many survivors in the Gulf Coast area with chronic health problems had difficulties accessing their prescriptions or refilling their medications. * Becton, Dickinson & Company...syringes and needles. * Bristol-Myers Squibb, BMS has provided AmeriCares with more than $200 million of critical medicines for over 60 countries. * Esprit Pharma focuses on specialty therapeutics for both urology and women's health care. The company's first donation consists of an important and useful antibiotic, ProQuin? XR that has a unique delivery of ciprofloxacin. * Henry Schein, Inc. Medical Supplies * Nestl頗aters North America. When devastating hurricanes hit the U.S. Gulf Coast in August and again in September 2005, AmeriCares turned to Nestl頠Waters with urgent requests. Nestl頗aters?s contributions of Bottled Water, valued at more than $38,000, helped AmeriCares bring vital relief to survivors in the affected areas. When a disaster strikes, AmeriCares relief experts assemble a needs list from the affected area. That list is matched against the warehouse inventory and if further provisions are needed, staff members contact corporate donors for the additional supplies. Over the years, more than 1,000 corporate donors have partnered with AmeriCares to provide life-saving aid in the form of medicines, vitamins, surgical and hospital equipment, blankets, milk products, food, disaster relief supplies, water purifiers, tents, vaccines and diapers. AmeriCares places a huge premium on accurately monitoring the distribution of all of our shipments. We have the know-how and expertise to respond responsibly and efficiently to all disasters. Strong relationships are maintained with highly capable and qualified people and organizations in countries around the world that provide accurate information and effective logistical support. There is continual contact with indigenous health care providers in many countries to ensure that the relief supplies are used responsibly. Over the years, invaluable experience has been gained in moving large quantities of medicine safely to areas where transportation is poor and the political situation unstable. Our world-renowned reputation for accountability has long since earned the confidence of the pharmaceutical and medical supply industries, in addition to our many financial supporters. AmeriCares is consistently one of the first humanitarian organizations to respond to worldwide disasters with urgently needed medical supplies. Our ability to respond quickly would not be possible without the generous contributions, both financial and in-kind, of many donors, especially our corporate partners. The AmeriCares humanitarian lifeline to the world extends across the globe every day. It also touches lives in the United States, reaching out to the uninsured through AmeriCares Free Clinics; to those in need of home repair through AmeriCares HomeFront; and to children infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS, through Camp AmeriKids. It is the compassionate concern shown by all in the AmeriCares community?employees, financial and in-kind donors, local partners and thousands of committed volunteers?that enables AmeriCares to help millions of people around the world. AmeriCares is an international relief organization whose passion to help is matched by an ability to deliver. Whether it's an epic disaster or a daily struggle, AmeriCares goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure that medicines, medical supplies and aid reaches individuals in need wherever they are, whenever they need it. In a quarter of a century, we have delivered more than $6 billion of aid to 137 countries. AmeriCares is an I.R.S. registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The AmeriCares Model For over two decades, the success of AmeriCares has been characterized by timely response, meaningful impact, high integrity and intense passion for the work. To deliver medicine, relief supplies and health care to the needy, AmeriCares has developed a platform based on strategic partnerships, high-efficiency and tight auditing procedures. Since its founding, AmeriCares has provided more than $6 billion of aid to 137 countries. To accomplish these results, AmeriCares assembles product donations from the private sector, determines the most urgent needs and solicits the funding to send the aid via airlift or ocean cargo to health and welfare professionals in the indigent locations. On the ground, AmeriCares works with international and local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's), hospitals, health networks and government ministries of long-standing effectiveness such as the Order of Malta, Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity, Adventist Development and Relief Agency International, HOPE Worldwide, Project Mercy, Centres pour le D鶥loppement et la Sant頡nd Help The Afghan Children. Two warehouses, one each in the U.S. and Europe, serve as assembly centers for inventory. In some instances, where products such as medicines or medical supplies are not available through conventional channels and the need is critical, AmeriCares applies funds for direct purchases. Uncompromising security procedures assure that the assistance is distributed to the designated beneficiaries and not diverted-for example, all-inclusive tracking of medicine by lot number and thorough follow-ups. The model is time-tested, cost-effective and experience-driven. Historically, auditing discloses that each $100 in cash contributions enables AmeriCares to deliver more than $3,000 in emergency relief, including medicines, medical supplies, clothing, footwear, blankets and nutritional supplements.

Whether it's an epic disaster or a daily struggle, AmeriCares goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure that medicines, medical supplies and aid reaches individuals in need wherever they are, whenever they need it. In a quarter of a century, we have delivered more than $6 billion of aid to 137 countries. AmeriCares is an I.R.S. registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The AmeriCares Model For over two decades, the success of AmeriCares has been characterized by timely response, meaningful impact, high integrity and intense passion for the work. To deliver medicine, relief supplies and health care to the needy, AmeriCares has developed a platform based on strategic partnerships, high-efficiency and tight auditing procedures. Since its founding, AmeriCares has provided more than $6 billion of aid to 137 countries. To accomplish these results, AmeriCares assembles product donations from the private sector, determines the most urgent needs and solicits the funding to send the aid via airlift or ocean cargo to health and welfare professionals in the indigent locations. On the ground, AmeriCares works with international and local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's), hospitals, health networks and government ministries of long-standing effectiveness such as the Order of Malta, Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity, Adventist Development and Relief Agency International, HOPE Worldwide, Project Mercy, Centres pour le D�veloppement et la Sant� and Help The Afghan Children. Two warehouses, one each in the U.S. and Europe, serve as assembly centers for inventory. In some instances, where products such as medicines or medical supplies are not available through conventional channels and the need is critical, AmeriCares applies funds for direct purchases. Uncompromising security procedures assure that the assistance is distributed to the designated beneficiaries and not diverted-for example, all-inclusive tracking of medicine by lot number and thorough follow-ups. The model is time-tested, cost-effective and experience-driven. Historically, auditing discloses that each $100 in cash contributions enables AmeriCares to deliver more than $3,000 in emergency relief, including medicines, medical supplies, clothing, footwear, blankets and nutritional supplements. -> 88 Hamilton Ave. Stamford, CT USA 06902 Clearinghouse for medical supplies.

AmeriCares receives donations of medicines, medical supplies and other relief materials from some of the nation's most highly respected pharmaceutical companies as well as other corporations. Two warehouses, one each in the U.S. and Europe, store materials and make them available for immediate shipment. The warehouses are constantly being restocked with products that are continually shipped by sea and by air around the world. Corporate Partners * Abbott Laboratories. One of our most loyal supporters, Abbott has generously donated over $400 million of product to AmeriCares, providing life saving aid to people in over 100 countries. * AmerisourceBergen In the aftermath of the tsunami AmerisourceBergen mobilized its 14,000 employees across the country and from 17 AmerisourceBergen warehouses throughout the U.S, donated more than $1 million worth of antibiotics, antivirals and antimalarials to AmeriCares. * AstraZeneca is donating medicines. Following Katrina, many survivors in the Gulf Coast area with chronic health problems had difficulties accessing their prescriptions or refilling their medications. * Becton, Dickinson & Company...syringes and needles. * Bristol-Myers Squibb, BMS has provided AmeriCares with more than $200 million of critical medicines for over 60 countries. * Esprit Pharma focuses on specialty therapeutics for both urology and women's health care. The company's first donation consists of an important and useful antibiotic, ProQuin� XR that has a unique delivery of ciprofloxacin. * Henry Schein, Inc. Medical Supplies * Nestl� Waters North America. When devastating hurricanes hit the U.S. Gulf Coast in August and again in September 2005, AmeriCares turned to Nestl� Waters with urgent requests. Nestl� Waters�s contributions of Bottled Water, valued at more than $38,000, helped AmeriCares bring vital relief to survivors in the affected areas. When a disaster strikes, AmeriCares relief experts assemble a needs list from the affected area. That list is matched against the warehouse inventory and if further provisions are needed, staff members contact corporate donors for the additional supplies. Over the years, more than 1,000 corporate donors have partnered with AmeriCares to provide life-saving aid in the form of medicines, vitamins, surgical and hospital equipment, blankets, milk products, food, disaster relief supplies, water purifiers, tents, vaccines and diapers. AmeriCares places a huge premium on accurately monitoring the distribution of all of our shipments. We have the know-how and expertise to respond responsibly and efficiently to all disasters. Strong relationships are maintained with highly capable and qualified people and organizations in countries around the world that provide accurate information and effective logistical support. There is continual contact with indigenous health care providers in many countries to ensure that the relief supplies are used responsibly. Over the years, invaluable experience has been gained in moving large quantities of medicine safely to areas where transportation is poor and the political situation unstable. Our world-renowned reputation for accountability has long since earned the confidence of the pharmaceutical and medical supply industries, in addition to our many financial supporters. AmeriCares is consistently one of the first humanitarian organizations to respond to worldwide disasters with urgently needed medical supplies. Our ability to respond quickly would not be possible without the generous contributions, both financial and in-kind, of many donors, especially our corporate partners. The AmeriCares humanitarian lifeline to the world extends across the globe every day. It also touches lives in the United States, reaching out to the uninsured through AmeriCares Free Clinics; to those in need of home repair through AmeriCares HomeFront; and to children infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS, through Camp AmeriKids.
