Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) announced today that it is committing $3 million in direct contributions to Hurricane Rita relief and recovery efforts. This includes $1 million to the Texas Disaster Relief Fund initiated by Governor Rick Perry to provide immediate assistance to citizens in need as a result of Hurricane Rita and $1 million to the Emergency Relief Fund for Hurricane Rita Recovery for local relief efforts in the Jefferson County, Texas area which covers the communities of Beaumont, Port Arthur and Sabine Pass. The remaining funds will be contributed to other agencies participating in hurricane relief and recovery efforts. Including cash and in-kind contributions related to Hurricane Katrina, ExxonMobil has committed in excess of $13 million for relief efforts related to these two storms. "Many communities, as well as ExxonMobil employees and families, have been impacted by yet another natural disaster, the full extent of which is still being assessed," said Lee Raymond, chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil Corporation. "Our thoughts and prayers are with our employees and the communities facing difficult challenges in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita." In addition to the direct company contribution for Hurricane Rita relief and recovery, ExxonMobil also announced that its previously announced hurricane relief matching program for employees, retirees, surviving spouses, dealers and distributors worldwide will be extended until March 31, 2006. The ExxonMobil Hurricane Relief Matching Program will provide a one-to-one match of individual contributions up to $50,000 to specific organizations that are positioned to provide hurricane relief and recovery assistance across the affected areas. In addition to the financial support, ExxonMobil continues to donate fuel to emergency responders through its fuel donation program. This program is designed to assist "first responders" in the impacted areas in Texas and Louisiana in those limited, extraordinary circumstances where traditional suppliers or FEMA cannot accommodate the fuel needs of the "first responders." "First Responders" include police, fire and rescue squads, and hospital and medical facilities that are providing first response rescue efforts and are addressing critical community needs.
