The UPU supports disaster risk management by helping postal services strengthen their resilience and continuity during emergencies. Its programme focuses on preparedness, response and recovery, ensuring postal networks can maintain critical communication and logistics, especially in disaster-affected areas. The UPU provides guidelines, training and technical support to help member countries develop risk reduction strategies and integrate disaster management into postal operations.

- The UPU joined the Global Initiative on Resilience to Natural Hazards through AI Solutions in 2024. This initiative brings together ITU, WMO, UNEP, and the UNFCCC to promote cross-sector collaboration on the use of AI for disaster risk management. Launched in 2021, it builds on the work of a focus group by ITU, WMO and UNEP. Its activities include workshops and research to co-develop AI tools that enhance resilience and support emergency logistics. To learn more about the Global Initiative and its activities, see below.
