As Australia continues to fight and recover from the worst fire season the country has ever seen, Yardi has donated to two important Australian organizations to support relief and recovery efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been shocked and saddened by the devastation caused to communities, wildlife and individuals that have lost their homes and lives in the fires in Australia,\u201d said Neal Gemassmer, vice president of international for Yardi. \u201cSupporting our communities, and those effected by disasters has been an important part of Yardi\u2019s philosophy of giving back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company has made a $250,000 donation, split evenly between two critical agencies in New South Wales and Victoria. To date, the two coastal southeastern states have suffered 16 million acres of land burned, 2,500 homes lost and 33 fatalities. It is also estimated that hundreds of millions of wild animals have either perished or lost critical habitat.<\/p>\n

The New South Wales Rural Fire Service<\/a> is the largest volunteer firefighting organization in the world. Its volunteers\u00a0provide fire and emergency services to approximately 95 percent of New South Wales (NSW). Over 2,000 volunteer brigades provide firefighting coverage for 108 local governments in NSW, and over than 1,000 firefighters are battling 60 ongoing fires.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NSW RFS acknowledges the support of many kind organisations, big and small, as well as community groups, schools and individuals who have contributed to support the work of our volunteers across NSW,\u201d the organization said in a statement. More information about ways to help the volunteer firefighters and fire victims is available on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Victorian Country Fire Authority Bushfire Appeal<\/a> is a government-administered fund that will distribute 100 percent of donations directly to those affected by the fires. The intent is to provide practical support as impacted Victorians begin to rebuild their lives. An Advisory Panel, chaired by former Victorian Deputy Premier Pat McNamara, will consider applications and recommend where funds will be distributed. Donations are tax deductible and can be made online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fire and disaster relief has been a longstanding part of Yardi\u2019s corporate philanthropic program.<\/p>\n

In recent years the company supported recovery efforts from the Thomas Fire<\/a> in Southern California, the Fort McMurray<\/a> wildfire in Canada, Hurricane Irma<\/a> in Florida and Hurricane Harvey<\/a> in Texas. The company also contributed to mobile disaster response command centers<\/a> in its hometown of Santa Barbara.<\/p>\n
