Accession Number: 01476502
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: The large catastrophic events in Haiti and Japan, which occurred in relatively close succession, provide a unique opportunity to enhance post-disaster humanitarian logistic (PD-HL) strategies to respond to catastrophes, and extract lessons to incorporate in future disaster preparation efforts. This article discusses the lessons learned from the Port au Prince earthquake and the Tohoku disasters in Japan, and produces a set of recommendations based on the combined lessons of the PD-HL operations in Haiti and Japan. The research conducted includes extensive field work and interviews to first responders and authorities in both disasters. This paper contains important lessons from field experience on the disaster response and insights into policy recommendations for disaster preparation and training.
Supplemental Notes: This paper was sponsored by TRB committee AT065T Logistics of Disaster Response and Business Continuity.
