Coordination is a major issue among relief organizations. Lack of coordination in terms of logistics, warehousing and distribution between
      * Different organizations
      * Local government and organizations

Lack of co-ordination in the supply chain and lack of central command (decentralized relief effort)
      * Leads to wastage of some resources, scarcity of some other resources, duplication

Need supplies quickly, but lack of proper roads and routing problems, competition for supply vehicles may result in the supplies reaching later than actually required

Logistical constraints lead to creation of bottlenecks due to which inventory storage; handling and lead time and many other relief chain operations are adversely affected

Presence of many relief agencies operating at the same time at the disaster location leads to
      * Competing and clogging of basic resources such as logistics, warehousing, thus delaying the overall delivery for each other

Lack of documentation of past disaster management experiences which could otherwise be used for learning from experiences and imitation of successful methods.
