The Humanitarian Supply Chain typically includes:

  • Supply Chain that supports
          * Response to a disaster
          * Humanitarian crises

  • Response
          * Preparedness / Planning
          * Assessment / Appeal
          * Mobilization
          * Procurement
          * Transportation
          * Warehousing
          * Distribution (to Beneficiaries)

  • Recovery

  • The four elements of disaster management are disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness and relief. Supply chain issues come into fore usually during the relief operations due to inadequate preparations beforehand. These will be discussed in the course of the paper.

    A methodology and framework for disaster management involves five stages beginning from Planning, to Mitigation, then Detection, onto Response and finally Recovery.

    The supply chain for a disaster plan will ideally look like the one below. It definitely will have sub system as the complexity of the disaster increases. The one major issue faced by disaster managing is that it is totally unpredictable and the knowledge gained from some previous experience may not be completely transferable.
