Please join us for a webinar
focused on how nonprofit organizations can prepare to transport humanitarian
supplies by air in the aftermath of an emergency. Airlink recently worked with a
expert consultant to develop a ten-step guidance note for nonprofits, designed
to facilitate more efficient, effective and streamlined movement of cargo. By
building understanding of what will be required when a disaster occurs, it is
hoped that Airlink and its partners can improve response times and achieve
better humanitarian outcomes for affected people.
Airlink staff will walk
partners through each of the ten steps within the guidance note, which will be
shared with participants in advance of the webinar. There will also be the
opportunity for Q&A at the end of the session. Please note that there
are two opportunities to participate in this one-hour session; this is not a
two-part webinar.
Learning
outcomes:
Increased awareness of key
requirements when moving humanitarian supplies by air;
Enhanced understanding of the
specific responsibilities of nonprofit organizations seeking to transport
humanitarian cargo;
Identify practical steps that
organizations can take to increase preparedness to move humanitarian supplies by
air, including actions that can be taken in advance of an
emergency.
Airlink connects
nonprofits and the aviation sector to deliver disaster responders and supplies
in the wake of humanitarian crises worldwide. Working in partnership
with 35+ commercial and charter airlines and 80+ nonprofit organizations, Airlink has responded to 53 humanitarian crises,
transporting over 4,700 aid workers and 2.8 million pounds of relief supplies,
in support of communities in need.
Airlink would like to thank
the Arconic Foundation for funding this initiative, which would not have been
possible without their
generosity.
Please contact Stephanie Austin (saustin@airlinkflight.org) if you have any questions about this webinar or other
ongoing
projects.
