Training - Regional Logistics Program

Logistic training program. The Regional Logistics Program develops plans and guides that optimize our Region’s ability to manage resources and respond to a catastrophe. Overview. Disaster Logistics Training. During a disaster response a jurisdiction may not have the number of trained logisticians needed to execute effective resource management, movement control and commodity distribution operations. The Regional Logistics Program (RLP) has developed the Disaster Logistics Training Program with the goal of expanding the logistics capacity and capability in local EOCs throughout the country. The training provides participants with the knowledge they need to step in and assist when they are needed most. The program is easily accessible and does not require participants to be away from their desk for days at a time. The training program has 4 main components: Four courses are available in three formats – J ust-in-Time videos ( click the thumbnails to the right to view ), interactive web-based training and instructor-led classroom training : • LOG 101: The Disaster Logistician – an introduction to the general principles of logistics and the practice of disaster logistics in particular.
