Impact Statement

ALAN works domestically and internationally to support communities affected by disasters. Recent works include:

ALAN helped identify a transport company to move donated hospital mattresses to a non-profit warehouse for shipping to Haiti.
A plea for medical supplies to respond to the Haiti cholera outbreak resulted in the donation of a significant amount of bandages, IV equipment and solution. The donation was transported from a centralized US warehouse to Haiti.
In response to the threat of Hurricane Earl ALAN secured offerings of donated office and warehouse space in Maryland and Massachusetts for a large US non-profit.
A call for cleaning supplies to support Tennessee flooding cleanup resulted in three pallet-loads of supplies being offered by a Maryland company.
Following the Haiti earthquake with military airlift winding down, the State Department needed transport for orphans. An introduction to an air transport non-profit resulted in 44 orphans and 12 adults being airlifted out one week and 42 orphans the next.
A non-profit's Haiti project to build transitional housing required a person skilled in logistics and information technology. A Canadian volunteer spent a month with the organization in Haiti.

ALAN's 2011 initiatives include:

technology improvements to better match non-profit needs with available private sector resources.
introductions to all state emergency management and voluntary organizations active in disaster (VOAD) organization leadership.
Showcase non-profit work with stories in supply chain stories in industry journals

Haiti Cholera Aid Takes a Group Effort
ALAN joins Apria Healthcare’s Coram division and AEROBridge to coordinate shipment of supplies

Minneapolis, Dec. 21, 2010 – As the cholera epidemic swells in Haiti, people around the world are horrified to realize that thousands of people are dying from a disease that is treatable by modern medicine. Fortunately, a network of organizations has teamed up to help do something about it. A shipment of medical supplies arrived in Haiti earlier this month, thanks to a joint effort by the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN), Apria Healthcare’s Coram Specialty Infusion Services division and AEROBridge.

ALAN, a non-profit organization that engages the supply chain community for humanitarian relief efforts, was first alerted to the escalating need for medical supplies by AEROBridge, a group of aviation specialists who coordinate emergency aviation response during disasters. The most critical supplies were IVs and sterile dressings required to help address the problem of dehydration, a key challenge of cholera.

AEROBridge was willing to provide transportation for supplies but needed to tap ALAN’s network of corporations and associations to find a donor for the supplies. ALAN immediately alerted its members of the need and identified Apria Healthcare as a potential provider. Coram, the specialty infusion services division of national home healthcare provider Apria Healthcare, rallied its branch offices and quickly collected more than 100 boxes of the necessary items from more than 70 locations around the United States – most within 24 hours of the initial request.

With supplies coming from so many locations, AEROBridge arranged for a consolidator to ship the most critical supplies by air and the remainder to hitch a ride on a cruise ship headed for Haiti. The supplies were delivered to the Cap Haitien Health Network and Partners in Health, an international organization, for distribution.

“Our Coram team was gratified to be able to work with other organizations that share our commitment to responding quickly to people in need,” said Lisa Getson, executive vice president, Government Relations and Corporate Compliance at Apria Healthcare. “This effort builds on other fundraising efforts we’ve spearheaded to help the Haitian people, and we are glad to know that our joint effort with ALAN and AEROBridge will provide much-needed medical supplies.”

“Every link in the chain is important,” said Kathy Fulton, director of operations for ALAN. “Effective disaster relief requires that you have established trusted relationships before you need to ask for help. The connections among our organizations ensured that we were able to provide the necessary supplies in a timely and efficient manner.”

“Every group has a role to play towards a solution,” explained AEROBridge president Marianne Stevenson. “Everyone works together to offer the maximum aid. It’s really a good system when it works – as this month’s shipment illustrates.”
