Additional Relief
Additionally, Sawyer donated 7,562 sunscreen jugs and picaridin insect repellent units to crews in the Southern Appalachians.
When earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters strike, clean drinking water supplies get disrupted. The cost of transporting high volumes of water or bottled water gets expensive and heavy real quick.
A single case of bottled water weighs the same as approximately 60 Sawyer water filtration systems.
Sawyer Gravity Filtration Systems and Tap Filtration Systems not only provide significantly more clean water, they also make room for other incredibly important medicine and supplies. These systems can also provide peace of mind domestically in areas prone to natural disasters or for surprise boil alerts.
Using Sawyer Filters in an Emergency
These systems use the exact same filters and technology as our domestic retail systems but often with slightly different accessories or components to keep the cost down. Sawyer stockpiles these water filtration systems to deploy to relief partners anywhere in the world.
International countries and relief organizations appreciate the long-term solution we provide. With the help of our amazing partners, we've been able to help millions of people in countries like Haiti, Japan, Pakistan, Brazil, and Indonesia get back on their feet during a devastating time.
The QR code printed on our filters brings users to our website's Help page, where they can select one of the ten available languages. When in-person demonstrations and training are impossible, users are able to learn everything they need to know about their filter at the point of use.
The QR codes can also be scanned into GIS survey software for monitoring and evaluation of the filters. This replaces the bar codes that were previously used.
