ALAN has been improving logistics response to disasters for 19 years, and the need is greater now than ever. Please donate today to help us continue our work for many more years to come.
American Logistics Aid Network is mobilized for Hurricane/Tropical Storm Francine. As part of our response efforts, we are committed to providing you with the latest information and updates on supply chain impacts via our periodic Situation Reports, which can be found below in this email and on our website.
In the wake of Tropical Storm/Hurricane Francine’s landfall along the Gulf coast, the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) is urging area residents to heed safety advisories – and reminding members of the logistics community that their post-storm help could be needed soon.
In addition to working closely with the non-profit and emergency response communities, ALAN is providing real-time visibility on the storm’s supply chain impacts—including damages to roads, ports, and airports—via its Supply Chain Intelligence Center, which individuals and businesses can access free of charge.
ALAN has also updated its Disaster Micro-Site with helpful Tropical Storm/Hurricane Francine resources. That site is where ALAN will post requests for donated logistics assistance, most of which will arrive within 24 to 72 hours after the storm’s initial landfall. Logistics businesses that wish to make a financial donation to ALAN instead can do so by visiting https://www.alanaid.
