13 February 2025 – Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, is donating to the American Red Cross to support wildfire response and recovery efforts amid the devastating loss of life and major disruptions caused by damage to and loss of homes, businesses and public spaces where Alstom employees and our customers live and work. These donations will support people affected by the wildfires in California in early 2025.
Alstom has more than 400 employees in California, supporting our customer sites in the state, as well as colleagues nationwide who have family and loved ones in the state. In Southern California, Alstom is involved in the development of Los Angeles International Airport’s automated people mover system. Alstom has been Metrolink’s maintenance provider for the past 18 years, and later this year will also begin providing operations services for the southern California regional rail system. Additionally, Alstom is overhauling light rail vehicles for LA Metro.
“Our hearts go out to all those affected by the devastating wildfires in Southern California."
“Our hearts go out to all those affected by the devastating wildfires in Southern California,” said Dani Simons, Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs, Alstom Americas. “Each day our employees set out to create products and offer services that help fight climate change, but tragically its impacts are already all around us and growing in severity. We are thankful to the firefighters, first responders, and all those supporting response and recovery efforts.”
“The American Red Cross, our volunteers and partners continue to work round the clock to deliver comfort and care to communities impacted by the wildfires in California,” said Doreen Thomann Howe, regional CEO, American Red Cross of Greater New York. “We are so grateful to Alstom for their generous donation, which enables us to continue to be there for weeks and months to come to support families on their recovery journey.”
Alstom is committed to standing by the communities we serve and are proud to partner with the American Red Cross to deliver much needed resources to help Californians affected by the wildfires.
