Last year, 411 million people were affected by natural disasters (CRED, 2016). How can we minimise this impact? By better disaster preparedness and response, which depends upon effective logistics management. For every dollar raised for disaster relief, 80 cents is spent on emergency logistics. With your support, we can help ensure this money is spent wisely. And not wasted. How we help humanitarian logisticians. Setting standards, providing training and encouraging collaboration for humanitarian logisticians ensures a more efficient response. We unite over 4,000 humanitarian logisticians globally who benefit from: Empowerment – gaining specialist skills through accredited qualifications Learning – developing through latest news, research and best practice Collaboration – sharing experiences with other HLA members.
