Hussein, UPU Director General: During the 2013 2016 cycle, the number and intensity of large-scale disasters has increased, resulting in more human casualties and economic damage, also affecting the postal sector . But the Post can be a key player in disaster response, for example, by serving as a distribution point for emergency supplies and money transfers in the affected areas, and by providing a basic means of communication when no other system is available. During the 2013 2016 cycle, the UPU has made numerous efforts to raise awareness, set a framework for the UPU DRM activities and provide a platform for exchanges of best practices. DRM is a rather new activity for the UPU, but it has gained momentum and is now an integral component of our development cooperation policy.
