Masterclass Topic

How to Deal with Disaster and Emergency Logistics

Summary

With the threat of climate change, developing island nations in the Asia Pacific face significant challenges in disaster and emergency logistics.

In this masterclass, Eric Blackburn MCIPS Senior Procurement Specialist at World Bank Group based in Papua New Guinea will discuss how geographic isolation and limited infrastructure, such as inadequate roads and ports, complicate rapid response.

These regions are highly susceptible to natural disasters like cyclones and tsunamis, exacerbating their vulnerability. Limited resources, both in materials and skilled personnel, hinder effective emergency management.

Additionally, dependence on external aid, communication barriers, and healthcare limitations further strain their capacity to respond to and recover from disasters effectively.
