This is an important aspect to be considered during the outgoing lockdown. Contingency planning of a company that aims to distribute relief material during a disaster is essential. If a plan is not set in place for the distribution of materials people will just unnecessarily hoard items instead of donating them to people who are in actual need of these materials. It is also critical that the logistics company provides quality service. This is important for two reasons: first, people are looking for peace of mind when they donate items and secondly, people need to know that their donated items will be distributed efficiently. They will need to see proof that their donations are being delivered to the right people in the right amount and the right location.
Logistics during lockdown should also be considered because of the lack of electricity. For example, not only will the food have to be stored at someplace safe, but the supplies that the organization has purchased must be stored somewhere safe as well. It may be nice to put them in a storage facility, but there will still be a risk of a break-in that and this could lead to the release of harmful bacteria. Instead, the logistics of distribution during lockdown should consider having the food and supplies stored in an office or in a secure area. This will allow the distribution companies to continue to do their job while also preventing the worry that some people may cause a riot by taking advantage of the shortage of power. Organizations cannot just leave things to sit and be forgotten about. They have to take care of supplies and there will be deadlines. If they get behind on their distribution, it may not even be safe for the people to access the goods that are being held for distribution. For this reason, it is critical that there is a good logistics of distribution during the lockdown.
