Cyclone Phailin Relief Efforts in India 

The Eastern coast of India was hit on October 11 by Cyclone Phailin, a category 4 storm. More than 800,000 were evacuated from the coast in 2 days' time - an amazing feat which saved many lives. Our President & CEO Gov. Scott McCallum was visiting our Aidmatrix India Offices prior to the Cyclone. He and the rest of the Aidmatrix India team were activated to support India's National Disaster Management Authority, their partner agencies and supporting corporations.
