With the assistance of Portadam, Sonoco’s team was able to properly deploy almost 5,000 linear feet of flood protection equipment relative to the deployment locations and team assignments. By providing proper equipment, action plans, and training for different risk levels, the Sonoco team has been able to successfully manage two potential flooding incidents since Hurricane Matthew. During those deployments, visual aids enabled the Sonoco employees to deploy effectively, and in both cases they were able to deploy quickly resulting in no damage to their Hartsville manufacturing facility.
