DPSGY Deutsche Post AG (PK)

By Maitane Sardon

Deutsche Post AG (DPW.XE) said Tuesday that it has sent volunteers to the Bahamas to handle relief supplies for the victims of Hurricane Dorian.

DHL said the move is part of its partnership with the United Nations to provide both the UN and other disaster-management organizations at country level with assistance managing airport logistics and warehousing incoming relief aid during natural-disaster recovery efforts.

The German logistics provider said the first relief supplies delivered by the International Federation of Red Cross were transported by Deutsche Post DHL Group employees to a UN warehouse for distribution to those in need in Freeport, Nassau and Abaco. It said more than 136 metric tons of relief goods have already been dispatched.

The company said its disaster-response team has been deployed more than 40 times since it partnered with the UN in 2005. In addition to disaster response teams, DHL said it trains airport management in risk regions to be better prepared for disasters.
