The FEMA Logistics Mission

The FEMA Logistics mission is to provide an efficient, transparent, and flexible logistics capability for the procurement and delivery of life-sustaining goods and services to an impacted population while simultaneously coordinating support to all the responders. This simultaneous coordination element and the “element of surprise” inherent in disasters makes the FEMA Logistics mission uniquely challenging. As you will discover in this course, logistics support during a disaster presents issues not commonly encountered in other logistics operations.
