Today, millions of dollars worth of donated humanitarian relief resources, including thousands of volunteer man-hours, are ineffectively used in times of crisis -- a situation that disaster relief organizations worldwide would like to change. To significantly improve the delivery of humanitarian aid following a disaster, IBM advocates a public and private global partnership that has the support of the United Nations, major corporations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This IBM white paper outlines the four major steps involved in developing such a partnership:
1. Obtain a Memorandum of Understanding outlining the potential contributions of each participating company
2. Deploy critical incident management resources in a way that reduces redundancy and gets supplies where they're truly needed
3. Build diplomatic relations between disparate groups
4. Leverage the partnership's international status to determine its structure and obtain necessary funding
Download this informative white paper to learn more about the importance of building a public and private global partnership to meet the world's disaster readiness needs.
