ALAN Hurricane Preparation Plans

 

Minneapolis, Sep. 1, 2010 – The American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) is closely monitoring the path of Hurricane Earl and working with volunteer and emergency management agencies to determine how to best aid their response efforts.

 

Should Hurricane Earl create significant relief needs on the Atlantic Coast ALAN will:

• Post needs of relief agencies on the web portal (www.alanaid.org).

• Sponsor calls for interested parties to provide updates on relief efforts and needs.

• Post information about relief efforts and sources of information on the ALAN website.

 

We ask that your association help in the following ways:

 

• If you have regional leadership structures in the area likely to be impacted please share our plans with them, or should you wish we are glad to assist with that distribution.

• Absent specific regional structures if there are individuals or companies who take leadership roles in the area please share our intents with them.

 

In the days following an event interest is high however information as to specific needs may take several days to a week to emerge as gaps come into focus.

 

Many thanks for your support.
