An extreme storm with hail and a tornado passed through several villages on the border of the Břeclav and Hodonín regions in Southern Moravia on Thursday, June 24, 2021.
Specifically, the strong tornado accompanied by absorbent vortices, which reached the strength of F4 on the Fujit scale (the second strongest level of tornado strength). It passed through a section 26 kilometers long and about half a kilometer wide (with deviations). Seven municipalities were critically affected. In the affected municipalities, about 1,200 buildings were destroyed, including public, agricultural, and industrial buildings, as well as many trees and vehicles and infrastructure were utterly destroyed.
According to preliminary estimates, the damage to private and public property was estimated at 15 billion in the Czech Republic. About 200 houses were destined for demolition. During the evening and the following day, several hundred injured people were treated, a total of six people died. On a European scale, it was the tornado with the highest number of victims since 2001 and at the same time the strongest and deadliest meteorological event in Europe in 2021. With the measured intensity of F4, it is also the historically strongest undoubtedly recorded tornado in the Czech territory.
Therefore, immediately Sarantis Group mobilized multiple product donations of personal care and home care products to further support the affected communities. Specifically, the Group distributed INDULONA’s hand cleansing gels, and other necessary products such as FINO’s disposable gloves, garbage bags and Carroten’s suncare products. All these products were distributed to those in need throughout all the affected region.
Giving back to society and embracing communities is a key priority of Sarantis Group. Sarantis Group will continue its CSR activities, aimed at supporting communities to thrive and at expressing social solidarity.
