The cases of water were among the first to arrive on the ground in the country and were delivered by Iceland’s Search and Rescue Team (ICE-SAR). Another airlift of Icelandic Glacial water will be delivered in Haiti over the weekend by the US military.
“A tragedy of this magnitude affects everyone, everywhere,” said Jon Olafsson, chairman and co-founder, Icelandic Glacial. “At Icelandic Glacial, we’re doing our best to help search and rescue teams like ICE-SAR with their efforts on the ground in Haiti, and we pledge to ship thousands more cases of bottled water in the coming days.”
ICE-SAR’s international team operates as a special unit within the Icelandic Association of Search and Rescue. Iceland is the second most volcanically active country in the world and the international SAR team was deployed to Haiti because of its expertise in earthquake rescues.
