It’s essential that public and private organizations work together to find new and innovative solutions to support and enhance recovery efforts after a natural disaster strikes,” UPS Foundation President Eduardo Martinez said in a statement.

The first test will take place over the course of a week in one of the areas in Louisiana or Texas affected by flooding from Hurricane Harvey.
