Florida-Based Sawyer Products Helps Thousands with Supplies after Hurricanes Milton and Helene, Revolutionizing Disaster Relief Efforts

Safety Harbor, FL /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Sawyer, a pioneer in water filtration and outdoor protection, is transforming disaster relief in real-time by supplying and donating over 20,000 water filters, nearly 1,000 32 oz jugs of sunscreen, and more than 5,300 bottles of Picaridin insect repellent to those affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. These critical supplies are made possible through the dedicated efforts of local first responders and organizations like the American Red Cross, Samaritan’s Purse, Convoy of Hope, Save Our Allies, WC Kitchen, Water by Women, Waves for Water, and many more.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, widespread flooding has severely compromised water supplies, leaving over 1.5 million people without access to clean drinking water. Contaminated water has rendered local supplies undrinkable, prompting cities to issue boil water advisories. Sawyer’s donation of water filters represents a significant shift away from the cumbersome logistics of bottled water, offering a faster and more efficient solution. A single Sawyer Tap Water Filter can replace two pallets (1,900 liters) of bottled water, providing 500 gallons of clean drinking water per day. These lightweight, compact filters enable affected communities to safely access water directly from compromised sources, reducing transportation delays and the reliance on single-use plastic bottles.
