Eastman’s Post

Friday, September 27, started as a typical day for Eastman team member Gina Berthelson. Living nearly a mile away from the Nolichucky River, she never expected the waters could reach her home… until they did. Watch as Gina shares her story and her deep appreciation for the outpouring of support her family – and so many across her community – have received. #TheHEARTofEastman #HurricaneHeleneRelief

When Eastman Emergency Services received a call for assistance from the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (EMA) – Region 1 the day after Hurricane Helene, they immediately took action. EMA officials needed help transporting 56 patients from nearby Greeneville, Tenn., to other healthcare facilities in the region. Flooding from the hurricane had caused a water system failure in Greeneville, leaving the hospital with limited ability to provide essential services to its patients. Dave Kindle, fire captain with Eastman Emergency Services, secured two rental vehicles through Fleet Services. He then reached out to off-shift team members to solicit their help. When the team arrived in Greeneville, they began staging ambulances and ICU patients and tended to patient needs as they awaited transport. Once all the critical patients were loaded into the ambulances, the Eastman team transported the non-critical patients to Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport. The team was honored to help and stands ready to help their regional emergency response partners if the need arises. #TheHEARTofEastman #HurricaneHeleneRelief

Relief efforts after catastrophic events like Hurricane Helene are hard for first responders, but they’re especially hard if you’re sleeping in your car after an hours-long, emotionally and physically draining day performing search and rescue. When Whitney Holt, Eastman’s Global Public and Community Affairs, learned of this need through Carter County Emergency Management leaders, she quickly went to Willie Frye in Eastman Procurement to purchase more than 100 air mattresses for them to have. #TheHEARTofEastman #HurricaneHeleneRelief
