January 27, 2010 – Following the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, the Business Roundtable’s Partnership for Disaster Response is monitoring the disaster situation and working with our partners at the American Red Cross, a network of international relief agencies and the federal government to assess how the business community can address needs in the affected area. To date, Business Roundtable member companies have pledged more than $46 million in cash and in-kind donations. Visit the Partnership for Disaster Response Web site — www.respondtodisaster.org — to view a complete list of member company contributions.
