Pallets of supplies from GE Appliances, a Haier company, have arrived at the Roper Corporation plant in LaFayette, Georgia, to help support employees there dealing with the impacts of weekend tornadoes and dangerous storms.
A severe weather outbreak on Sunday caused significant power outages and damaged homes across southeast Tennessee and north Georgia, including the homes of several Roper employees.

On Wednesday, employees from GE Appliances’ global headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, loaded up generators, flashlights, cell phone chargers, and coolers to take to LaFayette to assist Roper workers and their families. Additionally, GE Appliances is contributing to additional relief efforts in the area through the local American Red Cross.
