摘要

The relevance and demand for humanitarian operations is increasing every year, as evidenced by highly erratic climatic patterns and frequent natural disasters such as landslides, earthquakes, droughts, floods, and hurricanes. In this paper, we discuss the case of "Ockhi", a Category 3 tropical cyclone that hit the Indian Subcontinent in late 2017. The magnitude, spontaneity, and, severity of such events, which are referred to as force majeure, puts enormous pressure on humanitarian organizations and supply chains globally, which are often constrained with limited resources, but entrusted with multiple functions, including but not limited to roles of information dissemination, evacuation of people, search & rescue, coordination & control, agile deployment, mobilization of forces, logistics, salvage, recovery, and reconstruction. This paper is a pilot work, employing case study method that explores issues in Early Humanitarian Operations during high uncertainty scenarios in islands and coastal regions. The research findings reveal critical issues in: (1) Effective Synchronization between information systems and field operations, (2) Responsiveness due to access cut-off (black out) between command center in mainland and islands or remotely located coastal regions hindering supply chain agility during early phase of humanitarian operations, and (3) Flexibility of Operations due to inadequate preparedness, safe and robust cross-docking facilities, and shelters to endure peaks of cyclonic flooding conditions during the disaster at island territories. The data has been triangulated with two other cyclonic flooding disasters in 2018 for validation. The results and key takeaways are summarized; limitations and directions for future research are discussed.
