When deadly flooding impacted over one million people in Vietnam, and was quickly followed by Typhoon Molave, an already critical situation was made worse. In response, FedEx worked with global nonprofit organization Water Mission to transport 975,000 water purification packets, which collectively can treat 9.7 million liters (2.64M gallons) of water, making it safe for human consumption “After any natural disaster, access to safe water is critical because that helps to prevent the spread of waterborne illnesses,” said Water Mission CEO and President, George C. Greene IV, PE. “We are grateful to FedEx and their continued collaboration and support of our disaster response efforts in bringing safe water to the thousands of people affected by Typhoon Molave in Vietnam.”
