Today, the U.S. Department of State and United Parcel Service (UPS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Through this memorandum of understanding, the U.S. Department of State and UPS will leverage UPS’s unparalleled logistics network, cargo transportation and supply chain expertise to support State Department-led disaster relief efforts around the world, helping to deliver life-saving assistance faster and more efficiently.
When disaster strikes, speed and impact save lives. The partnership with UPS combines the best logistics capabilities of the U.S. private sector with the disaster relief expertise of the State Department. UPS is a proven partner, providing logistics support to the State Department and its implementers during recent crises, including Hurricane Melissa, earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia, and flooding in Nepal.
