  • The Transparency of Relief Organizations Responding to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake
    Report on The Transparency of Relief Organizations Responding to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake Citizen Oversight Requires Citizen Engagement 1 About Disaster Accountability Project (DAP) The Disaster Accountability Project (DAP) is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization committed to: • improving disaster management systems through policy research and advocacy; • promoting transparency and engaging citizens to become more involved in preparedness and relief; • and helping to ensure that people know what is happening on the ground during a disaster. What We Do Founded in 2007 in reaction to the bungled response to Hurricane Katrina, DAP has demonstrated that dedicated and informed oversight can help ensure that government agencies and nonprofit organizations live up to their life-saving obligations before, during, and after crises. Our History Over the past few years, members of Congress, the news media, and emergency management practitioners have requested and utilized the research and real-time information collected by DAP. For a young organization, DAP has had an out-sized and far-reaching impact (as reported by ABC News, the Associated Press, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, and the Chronicle of Philanthropy, among others). Some of these accomplishments include: • Investigating and authoring a report on how accessible and up-to-date the emergency plans in twenty-two hurricane-vulnerable Louisiana parishes were; this report prompted many parishes to update and improve the public accessibility of their plans. • Conducting a successful campaign to compel FEMA to comply with federal law and elevate the position of FEMA Disability Coordinator, so that she has more authority and resources available to fulfill the position's mandate.

    DELIVERING FOR GOOD Leveraging our Global Network and Logistics Expertise FedEx does more than deliver – we deliver for good. We are one the few companies in the world that has the global network and logistics expertise capable of assisting with precious shipments or responding quickly in times disaster. It’s a responsibility that we take seriously. Our business requires that we maintain a team of skilled logistics experts, pilots and drivers that spans the globe, as well as an unparalleled fleet of trucks, airplanes and other vehicles. When disaster strikes and there’s not a moment to lose, we have the infrastructure in place to help facilitate a swift response. Our people mobilize the FedEx global fleet and use shipping expertise to provide urgently-needed supplies quickly and efficiently to relief organizations. Even when there’s no emergency, FedEx gets the call to transport precious cargo safely. Whether it’s rare artifacts, traveling museum exhibits or endangered animals, we do more than deliver — we deliver for good. In FY19, FedEx provided more than $12 million in cash and charitable in-kind support to Delivering for Good programs around the world. We are proud to collaborate with these nonprofit organizations 2 Disaster Relief: Preparedness, Response and Recovery FedEx logistics experts help reimagine an emergency field hospital Hospitals and health facilities are not immune to the devastating impacts of disaster. When a region’s healthcare system is knocked out or damaged, International Medical Corps can provide emergency relief through its transportable field hospital. While the original hospital design allowed for a single configuration only, not every disaster requires a 50-ton field hospital the size of a football field.
