A spokeswoman said the International Commission on Missing Persons will obtain DNA profiles by testing several hundred bone samples.
Authorities in Louisiana, the U.S. state worst-hit by the hurricane, will then match the DNA to family members of the missing.
The hurricane swept across the southeastern United States in August, leaving more than 1,000 people dead and an unknown number of others missing.
