The town was leveled by one of the largest tornados in U.S. history in May 2007.  Very few structures remained in the aftermath of the deadly EF5 tornado and more than 1,500 people were displaced. Greensburg residents are rebuilding their town using sustainable materials.

"DuPont employees and customers have come together to help the families in Greensburg.  We cannot possibly imagine what this community has suffered, but we can help. We care about protecting lives, we care about building homes and we care about safeguarding communities," said Tom Schuler, vice president and general manager - DuPont Building Innovations.  "We are pleased to support the people of Greensburg with sustainable products that will help make a difference in the renewal of the town."

"DuPont's leadership in creating quality products and their generous contributions are making it possible for the Habitat organization to offer affordable homeownership as a hands-up solution in the Greensburg community.  We are tremendously grateful to DuPont and their business partners for their leadership and support," said Linda Stewart, executive director, Wichita Habitat for Humanity, Inc.

The materials, which include key end-use products from DuPont customers, will provide a number of benefits to homeowners in Greensburg for safety and energy efficiency, using sustainable materials for both inside and outside their homes.  For a complete list of DuPont and customer products, click here.
