Emergency Supply Chain Playbook: Preparedness Overview Guide
Purpose of this overview: To provide sponsors, senior leadership, and interested partners with an introduction to emergency supply chain preparedness as it is covered in the Playbook.
This playbook takes a particular perspective on emergency supply chain preparedness, although the recommendations and resources it contains are applicable across a range of emergency contexts.
There are three major areas of ESC preparedness: people and processes, commodity planning, and logistics and transport. Under these three areas are nine key elements involved in building an in-country emergency supply chain preparedness capability. The journey of implementing this capability will involve doing work in each of these components.
