Every year, the Atlantic hurricane season casts a long shadow, a time when coastal communities brace for potential devastation. But for the past two decades, FedEx and Direct Relief have been working together to turn preparedness into action. "We've formed a powerful partnership that delivers critical aid exactly where and when it's needed most" said April Britt, Director, FedEx Global Citizenship.
每年，大西洋飓风季节都带来了很长的阴影，这是沿海社区为潜在的破坏做好准备的时间。但是，联邦快递和直接援助在过去20年中一直在合作，致力于将准备工作变成行动。"我们建立了一个强大的合作关系，可以在最需要的时候准确地提供关键援助"，联邦快递全球公民身份主管艾普丽尔·布里特说。
Our story began in 2002, a long-term commitment forged in the shared desire to help communities weather the storms, both literally and figuratively. FedEx, the logistics giant with a global reach, offered the perfect complement to Direct Relief's mission of delivering essential medical supplies. Together, we've been innovators in disaster relief efforts, from the early days of the collaboration to our award-winning innovative medical backpack initiative.
我们的故事始于2002年，这是一项长期承诺，旨在共同帮助社区抵御风暴的侵袭，无论是字面意义上的还是比喻性的。作为全球覆盖范围巨大的物流巨头，联邦快递为直接援助运送基本医疗用品的任务提供了完美的补充。我们一起成为了灾难救援工作的创新者，从合作早期到我们屡获殊荣的创新医疗背包计划。
"These backpacks are lifesavers" said Thomas Tighe, CEO, Direct Relief. "Packed with vital medical supplies and designed for first responders, they ensure communities have immediate access to critical care in the chaotic aftermath of a disaster." The program's success was recognized in 2012 with the National Partnership Award from the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General, a testament to the impact of our combined efforts.
直接援助的首席执行官托马斯·蒂格说:"这些背包是挽救生命的"。"这些背包装满了重要的医疗用品，是专门为急救人员设计的，确保社区在灾后混乱的情况下立即获得关键医疗护理。"我们的合作计划在2012年荣获了美国卫生部外科主任办公室的全国合作伙伴奖，这证明了我们的共同努力的影响。
With the 2024 hurricane season predicted to be an active one, our work is more crucial than ever. As June 1st marked the season's official start, FedEx and Direct Relief are already on high alert, our logistical expertise and medical resources strategically prepositioned for rapid deployment.
随着预测2024年飓风季节将是活跃的，我们的工作比以往任何时候都更为重要。随着6月1日的正式开始，联邦快递和直接援助已经处于高度戒备状态，我们的物流专业知识和医疗资源已经被战略性地预置，以便快速部署。
This preparedness extends beyond the hurricane season. September is National Preparedness Month, a timely reminder for everyone to take action and be ready for any unexpected event. By working together, FedEx and Direct Relief are not just delivering vital supplies, we're delivering hope - the hope of a swift recovery and a brighter tomorrow for communities facing disaster.
这种准备工作不仅仅在飓风季节。九月是国家应急月，这是一个及时的提醒，提醒每个人采取行动，准备应对任何意外事件。通过联邦快递和直接援助的合作，我们不仅仅提供关键物资，更提供希望-希望能够快速恢复，为面对灾难的社区带来更光明的未来。
