The Logistics Cluster, when activated in a sudden onset emergency, is responsible for providing logistics coordination, information management; and, where there is a gap in logistics infrastructure, it acts as a ‘Provider of Last Resort’ by offering common logistics services to support the humanitarian community in their response operations.
Logistics Coordination, Information Management and GIS
Logistics Cluster Coordination Meetings are regularly held in Manila, Tacloban, Cebu, Roxas, Ormoc and Guiuan. The Meeting schedule is available on Logistics Cluster website (http://logcluster.org) and on https://philippines.humanitarianresponse.info/ (https://philippines.humanitarianresponse.info/calendar/month?field_clust...)
The Logistics Cluster has Information Management Officers in Manila, Tacloban and Cebu. Information is disseminated daily through a dedicated mailing list and via the Logistics Cluster website. Logistics mapping requests are forwarded to the Logistics Cluster GIS officer currently deployed in Manila.
Consignment Tracking Officers are stationed in Manila, Tacloban and Cebu to monitor cargo movement and storage requests.
