As Texas and Louisiana start to pick up the pieces after Hurricane Delta, the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) is gearing up to provide support\u2014and hoping that members of the logistics community will be just as willing to help with the 25th named storm of the season as they were with the first.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hearts go out to all of the people on the Gulf Coast who\u2019ve been affected,\u201d said ALAN Executive Director Kathy Fulton. \u201cIn a year with an unprecedented number of named storms, this is an incredible blow to a region that has already been very hard hit.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the past week, ALAN has been sharing real-time updates about Hurricane Delta\u2019s supply chain impacts via its Supply Chain Intelligence Center (https:\/\/www.alanaid.org\/resources\/<\/a>).\u00a0 And later this week it expects to begin receiving its first Hurricane Delta logistics relief requests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is when the hardest work for ALAN begins \u2013 because as relief organizations get in and assess the damage, they\u2019ll be asking us for a great deal of help,\u201d said Fulton, who stressed that every case ALAN handles is tied to a specific need and that many hurricane relief efforts take place over a long period of time. \u201cIn light of that, we encourage people to access our Disaster Micro-site\u2019s active needs section (www.alanaid.org\/operations\/) often in the weeks and months ahead\u2014and not just for Hurricane Delta.\u00a0 We also hope that people will answer our calls or e-mails if we come to them with a direct request.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, we ask people not to self-deploy or participate in product collection drives,\u201d Fulton said. \u201cToo often, these well-meaning efforts get in the way of the organized relief and response efforts that are already taking place\u2014and create more challenges than they solve. If organizations truly want to help, a cash donation is usually best.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALAN is an industry-wide organization that exists to provide supply chain assistance to disaster relief organizations (and other non-profits).<\/p><\/div>\n

Hurricane Delta made landfall in Southwest Louisiana late Friday, bringing additional rainfall, flooding and damage to towns that were just beginning recovery efforts for Hurricane Laura.\u00a0 It is the sixth storm ALAN has mobilized for this fall, which has proven to be one of the busiest hurricane seasons in the organization\u2019s 15-year history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know most people have hurricane and disaster fatigue, because this has been a year like no other,\u201d said Fulton. \u201cHowever we hope they have it in them to help the Gulf Coast at least one more time, because the transportation services, warehousing space, forklifts, boxes and other support we provide can make a hugely positive difference to so many.\u00a0 ALAN certainly isn\u2019t relaxing our efforts, and we hope they won\u2019t either.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
