Logistics

Before an emergency, logistics may entail:

· Acquiring equipment
· Stockpiling supplies
· Designating emergency facilities
· Establishing training facilities
· Establishing mutual aid agreements
· Preparing a resource inventory

During an emergency, logistics may entail the provision of:

· Providing utility maps to emergency responders
· Providing material safety data sheets to employees
· Moving backup equipment in place
· Repairing parts
· Arranging for medical support, food and transportation
· Arranging for shelter facilities
· Providing for backup power
· Providing for backup communications

Emergency funding can be critical immediately following an emergency. Consider the need for pre-approved purchase requisitions and whether special funding authorities may be necessary.
