Course Objectives:	Logistics is an integral part of supply chains. You may have encountered logistics in commercial chains, as part of military operations or as event logistics. You may have heard specialized cases as in health logistics or project logistics. However, humanitarian relief operations barely mention the term logistics. In fact, response to disasters and other complex emergencies do require physical flow of goods and provision of services, which, are all part of a complex and specialized supply chain. This course provides an introduction to fundamental concepts of Disaster Management and Humanitarian Logistics. We will cover topics like Risk Assesment, Disaster Management Cycle, Humanitarian Standards, coordination, procurement, and information management - all offering views to the same problem from various angles. In order to increase the students’ awareness on real-world problems, case studies are used for assignments and in class discussions.
