The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) today made public several support efforts that have been underway to assist the ongoing disaster recovery efforts in Haiti and Chile. The Company announced additional support of the Haiti earthquake response through its support of a relief mission which took place on March 6 and 7 to bring surgeons, medical supplies and clothing to those in need, and an initial financial contribution to relief efforts in Chile as well.

As part of its continued support of Haiti relief efforts, Dow collaborated with several Boston-area hospitals and like-minded companies to bring more than $750,000 in donated medical equipment to those in need – specifically an anesthesia machine and other specialized surgical equipment – via a relief flight that took place this weekend from the U.S to Haiti.

The mission was one of the single, largest private sector relief efforts since a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit the Republic of Haiti on January 12.

On its return flight to the U.S., the airplane transported more than 40 orphans who’ve been cleared for adoption by the U.S. State Department.

“The outpouring of support for both Haiti and Chile from the international community has been truly tremendous,” said Bo Miller, Global Director
