Disaster Logistics Management Evaluation Criteria

In Module 2 SLP, evaluation criteria were developed for the different phases of a disaster. In this SLP, we will now use the criteria developed to assess for management success or failure. First, disasters will be reviewed, and then further research and analysis will need to be accomplished to assess each disaster logistics management.

1. Review three relatively recent widespread US disasters and very briefly describe the event to include when, where, what, type of disaster, damage, fatalities. This can be done in outline form.
2. Develop a table and briefly assess each for logistical management success or failure in each of the phases (preparedness, response, and recovery) based on the criteria developed in Module 2 SLP. Justify your answers.
3. Select one of the disasters evaluated and further discuss some lessons learned for each phase of logistics management at the federal, state, and local levels.
4. For the chosen disaster, what additional actions could be taken by NGOs?
