Description

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) developed the Logistics Supply Chain Management System to replace its earlier logistics operations systems to automate and track distribution better and deliver emergency supplies more dependably. FEMA also intended for the new system to help track supplies provided by partners in other Federal agencies; nongovernmental organizations; state, local, and tribal governments; and the private sector. This report examined whether FEMAäó»s Logistics Supply Chain Management System is able to support Federal logistics operations effectively in the event of a catastrophic disaster. After spending about $247 million over 9 years, FEMA cannot be certain that its supply chain management system will be effective during a catastrophic disaster. This report explains the reason why and provides 11 recommendations for improvement. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
