    European Rubber Journal wants to hear from rubber industry companies with operations and/or employees in the areas impacted by Hurricane Katrina, and how you've handled the effects of the storm. We'd like to know what efforts you've made to keep your doors open, how you've kept track of employees, how you've contributed to the relief cause and what your plans are for the future.

    In particular, we'd like to hear any human interest stories you may have regarding your employees and how they dealt with the storm, the flooding and the aftermath. We're trying to put a face on the ordeal as it affects the rubber industry and the people who serve it.

    If you have anything to share, please contact David Shaw at +44 (0)20 7457 1408 or e-mail him at [email protected].
