Marken Operational Update: Extreme Fire Weather in Southern California

Uncontained Wildfires Threaten Southern California

Southern California is facing an unprecedented crisis as uncontained wildfires wreak havoc across the Los Angeles area. Fueled by relentless winds, critically low humidity, and dry vegetation, these fires have created extraordinarily dangerous conditions. The devastation is staggering, with reports of fatalities, widespread evacuations, and extensive destruction of thousands of acres and structures. This extreme weather pattern is forecasted to persist in the coming days, further heightening the challenges.

Supply Chain Disruptions Anticipated

In response to this escalating emergency, Marken and MNX have activated robust contingency plans, advanced risk management protocols, and comprehensive business continuity measures. These strategies are designed to minimize disruptions and ensure critical shipments reach their destinations as swiftly and safely as circumstances allow.

Our teams are in constant communication with local authorities, emergency responders, and business partners to monitor conditions in real-time. We are also proactively engaging with clients to provide alternative shipping arrangements when needed, leveraging the extensive UPS network to sustain service continuity.

Unwavering Commitment to Patients and Safety
The safety of our employees, the reliability of our services, and the well-being of patients remain our top priorities. While every effort is being made to maintain uninterrupted service, the severity of the situation may result in delays that could impact upcoming shipments.

Your Partner in Crisis Management
Marken and MNX are committed to protecting your critical, time-sensitive shipments through proactive mitigation strategies that ensure supply chain resilience during this unprecedented event.

For immediate support or inquiries about specific shipments, please contact your local Marken branch or business professional. If you’d like more information about our capabilities, email us at info@marken.com.

We will continue to provide timely updates as the situation evolves. Thank you for your understanding and trust in Marken and MNX during these challenging times.
