American Logistics Aid Network Mobilizes in Texas After Hurricane Beryl

Hurricane Beryl struck Texas as a Category 1 hurricane, causing heavy winds, flash flooding, and widespread power outages. In response, the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) has activated its network to coordinate with non-profit and business partners in aiding relief efforts.

On Tuesday, July 9, ALAN hosted a Logistics Coordination Call with responding non-profit organizations. During the call, partners shared their current response capabilities and identified potential logistics gaps.

ALAN’s response efforts, which include addressing specific logistics requests, will continue throughout the week as more needs are identified. “Most of our requests for assistance arrive after a hurricane or tropical storm has hit, sometimes weeks, months, or even years into recovery,” said Alexia Nobles, ALAN’s Operations Coordinator. “Each storm results in different outcomes and challenges, and it’s hard to predict where supply chain assistance will be needed the most until after the storm has passed.”



ALAN’s Disaster Micro-Site is the primary resource for viewing open logistics needs for response efforts. It also provides critical resources and information through Situation Reports as new updates become available.

“We are likely to see supply chain impacts across parts of the Caribbean, Mexico, and the U.S. Gulf Coast, all of which were affected by the storm,” said Kathy Fulton, ALAN’s Executive Director. “ALAN will continue to engage its public and private sector networks to provide visibility, smart logistics solutions, and compassionate humanitarian response as relief efforts progress.”
