Summary
The tsunami that struck on December 26th 2004 wreaked havoc of immense proportions: at least 200,000 people were killed in 13 countries, and the devastation of homes and property has been estimated by the United Nations (UN) to take up to five years to reconstruct and will cost US$9bn. Dealing with such a disaster was a tremendous logistical task, as material, money and services poured in to rescue and relieve those in distress. Disaster-response management: going the last mile is an Economist Intelligence Unit briefing paper sponsored by DHL Asia-Pacific. It looks at relief operations for tsunami- affected areas in Thailand and Indonesia, the lessons learnt, and how governments, aid agencies and companies can use these lessons to improve last-mile logistics management in disaster response in the long term.
