Synopsis

This book is a guide for Logistician's (civilian or military) in the execution of support to Disaster Relief efforts. . Provides a foundation to plan and coordinate at the federal, state, and local government agencies as they develop and implement their support operations plans and execution. . Presents information for staff management that incorporates manual and automated procedures to monitor and track movement and commodities throughout the disaster area. . Provides new ideas and concepts that can be utilized as a planning guide to assist civilian and military leaders in support of Disaster Relief Operation's. Due to the uniqueness of the mission and technology, this book may be guided towards a rather select audience. But since this topic impacts a majority of the population, it is important to understand that at all levels, the ability to plan, coordinate, and execute is required for an operation of this magnitude to be successful. The work is not an account of the relief operations conducted in past areas, but the basis for ideas and concepts to support future planning, coordination, and development of Logistical Disaster Relief Support Operations in the future.
