摘要

Everyone is regularly bombarded with an increasing volume of news items reporting such major natural disasters as tsunamis, major flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and volcanic activities scattered across the globe. These natural disasters affect developing and developed nations alike without apparent discrimination. Moreover, manmade disasters that include displaced populations from acts of war and civil unrest, as well as large-scale industrial accidents, further add to the totals of threatened and suffering populations. No matter what their causes, their wakes are strewn with death, destruction, disease, hunger, homelessness, and economic hardship. The responses to human suffering typically come from government, nongovernment organizations (NGO), and the private sector with resources in the form of materiel, personnel, utilities, and transport capacity. Time is always a top priority with the key challenge being to properly prioritize the delivery of critical goods and services using available transport. Often, however, transport capacity is constrained not only by the number of ships, aircraft, and trucks, but also by its requisite infrastructure that more often than not has been destroyed.
