About the Logistics Emergency Teams

 

Logistics Emergency Teams deploy worldwide upon request from the United Nations Global Logistics Cluster.

Logistics Emergency Teams are provided pro bono by Agility, AP Möller-Maersk, TNT and UPS, four leading logistics companies. Facilitated by the World Economic Forum, the companies joined forces to help the humanitarian sector with emergency response to large-scale natural disasters.

Logistics Emergency Teams (LETs) have a solid track record of deployments, based on agreed mechanisms and strong relationships with the UN's Global Logistics Cluster, led by the World Food Programme (WFP).

LETs’ support through pre-agreed operating procedures and training includes:

- Logistics specialists (e.g. airport coordinators, airport managers and warehouse managers)

- Logistics assets (e.g. warehouses, trucks, forklifts)

- Logistics services (e.g. airlift, trucking, customs management)

In 2008-2010, LETs deployed in Mozambique, Myanmar, Haiti, Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan & Chile. Around 100 trained volunteers are currently on standby.
