The Transportation Research Board’s Task Force on Logistics of Disaster Response and Business Continuity was established in 2012 to provide a forum to initiate and facilitate discussion, feedback, and exchange between the different parties involved in the various aspects of disaster relief and humanitarian aid logistics. This brief article serves as an introduction to a series of feature articles, minifeatures and sidebars concerning transportation’s role in disaster relief and business continuity. These articles offer snapshots of initiatives, improvements, collaborations, insights, and the steps ahead for the transportation community.
