We are thankful all employees and contractors in the area at the time of the earthquake were safely accounted for with no injuries. And while there was no major damage at the Anchorage office and operations at Red Dog Mine in northwest Alaska were not impacted, communities close to the epicentre did experience extensive damage.
在活动时间内，Teck制定了一个计划，帮助支持员工和承包商的员工和承包商在SouthCentral Alaska的受影响地区的受影响地区，包括两个飞机的运输安排，其中员工从红狗中出现。
还向阿拉斯加的美国红十字捐赠了100,000美元，以支持紧急努力，其中包括应急供应，紧急避难，灾害卫生服务，损害评估，恢复案件以及灾难劳动力。通过团队Teck社区捐赠员工员工捐款也与CAD 25,000美元相匹配。
在此次活动之后，个人支持救援努力的员工的故事也来到了Mark Helms的光明，进一步提醒我们我们在一起工作时我们有多强劲。
在聚光灯下：标记掌舵
我的工程师,我的技术Departme。马克•赫尔姆斯nt, Red Dog who lives in Anchorage, Alaska, stepped up and volunteered with the Red Cross Disaster Response team following the earthquake. A co-worker heard about his efforts and nominated him to be highlighted. Thank you Mark for supporting your community and for sharing your story with employees across Teck.
“我的R＆R [从红狗的休假场地]开始在大锚地震之后的星期二。我没有主要的计划，我想有用，所以我把我的名字放在帽子上，用美国红十字会作为志愿者。
在11月30日在SouthCentral Alaska的地震之后，Mark [正确]与美国红十字会志愿者。
At their request, I reported to the Anchorage Red Cross office Tuesday morning. They were elated to have a Teck representative join the disaster response effort, as Teck had just made a big donation.
第一天，我协助处理了几个捐赠的瓶装水托盘，以便在社区之间分配。我剩下的一周我帮助损害评估，一个调查过程，由灾难受到最受影响的家庭。我的作用是评估他们的家园及其情况的损害，然后通过手机应用程序填写简单的报告。
This information is then used by the Red Cross to determine how best to allocate donated money for the maximum benefit to the community. The idea is to fill the gap that sometimes exists before state or federal assistance can be provided, focusing on immediate needs.
“In my free time, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, hanging out with my wee nephews, or ideally both!” says Mark Helms, Mine Engineer, Mine Technical Department, Red Dog
成为这个过程的一部分是非常有益的。有一天，我有一个案例工作者与我一起，我们能够为一名居住在鹰河（最艰难的受灾区之一）的女性立即进行财政援助。她泪流满面 - 她对她的家有重大伤害，过去五天花了清理混乱。这只是冰山一角，为她整理她的家，她非常感谢支持。我们遇到的另一对夫妇一直住在家里被检查员视为不安全，但他们无处可去。红十字现在可以帮助这些人获得临时住房。
Just as rewarding was meeting the other volunteers and making new friends. I was surprised to learn just how many were from rural parts of Alaska. It gave me an appreciation for how close the community in Alaska really is.”
