In the immediate aftermath of Typhoon Mangkhut, Melco Resorts & Entertainment deployed a team of nearly 100 employees to ensure public safety and help beach clean-up efforts, the company revealed late Monday.
Arriving on the company’s electric buses, employees from Melco’s property and construction services department were dispatched to assist the fixing of damaged and dangerous hoarding around the city. Another group of Melco employees joined the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) in a clean-up initiative at Hac Sa, Macau’s largest natural beach, to remove rubbish and debris washed up onto the shoreline as a result of the typhoon.
“Our thoughts are with those whose properties have been damaged in yesterday’s typhoon, including those of our employees,” said Melco Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho. “At Melco, we pledge to assist the government in helping bring about a swift restoration of order to the city. We will do our best to offer help to those in need in community as we further coordinate additional relief efforts in the coming days.”
