Zetron staff donate nearly $8K for typhoon relief

Zetron employees have donated nearly $8000 to the American Red Cross relief effort for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Zetron, a provider of mission-critical communication systems, has held a fund drive that raised $7890 for the American Red Cross relief effort to help victims of Typhoon Haiyan. The contributions include donations from Zetron employees and matching funds from both the company and Zetron President and CEO Ellen O’Hara.

Typhoon Haiyan, which struck Southeast Asia in early November 2013, is the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record. It has killed at least 5759 people in that country alone and has left millions displaced or homeless. Haiyan is also the strongest storm recorded at landfall and the fourth-strongest typhoon ever recorded, with wind speeds that reached 315 kilometres per hour.
