美国国务院与UPS签人道物流谅解备忘录：支援全球灾害响应
美国国务院11月2日宣布，已与联合包裹服务公司（UPS）签署一份人道物流谅解备忘录。双方将借助 UPS 的物流网络、货物运输与供应链专长，支援国务院在全球领衔的灾害响应工作，让救命援助送达得更快、更有效。
国务院表示，灾难来临时，速度与覆盖范围就是生命。这项合作把美国私营部门的物流能力与国务院的灾害响应经验结合起来。UPS 此前已在多场危机中为国务院及其执行伙伴提供物流支持，包括飓风 Melissa、委内瑞拉与哥伦比亚的地震，以及尼泊尔的洪灾。
国务院称，期待与 UPS 继续合作，并重申将推动美国私营部门更多参与全球灾害响应工作。

U.S. Department of State Signs Humanitarian Logistics MoU With UPS to Support Disaster Response
The U.S. Department of State announced on November 2 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with United Parcel Service (UPS). Through the MoU, the Department and UPS will leverage UPS's logistics network, cargo transportation, and supply chain expertise in support of Department-led disaster response efforts around the world, helping deliver life-saving assistance faster and more effectively.
The Department said that when disasters strike, speed and reach save lives, and that the partnership brings American private-sector logistics capability to bear alongside the Department's disaster response expertise. UPS is a proven partner, having provided logistics support to the Department and its implementers during recent crises, including Hurricane Melissa, earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia, and floods in Nepal.
The Department said it looks forward to continued collaboration with UPS and reiterated its commitment to advancing American private sector involvement in disaster response efforts around the world.
