Limited, rapid, and specific deliveries from outside the area.A system of prioritizing various relief inputs.Storing, staging, and moving bulk commodities.Moving peopleCoordination and prioritization of the use of limited and shared transport assets.Possible military involvement in logistics supportAcquiring equipmentStockpiling suppliesDesignating emergency facilitiesEstablishing training facilitiesEstablishing mutual aid agreementsPreparing a resource inventoryProviding utility maps to emergency respondersProviding material safety data sheets to employeesMoving backup equipment in placeArranging for medical support, food and transportationArranging for shelter facilitiesProviding for backup powerProviding for backup communicationsDuring an emergency logistics may entailCharacteristics of ERL Supply Chain:“The ultimate humanitarian supply chain management has to be able to respond to multiple interventions often on a global scale , as quickly as possible and within a short time frame. Therefore supply chains need to be multiple, global, dynamic and temporary.”Source: Wassenhove, Van L.N (2006). “Blackett Memorial Lecture - Humanitarian Aid Logistics: Supply Chain Management in Higher Gear”.
