Logistics
MSF has logistics centres and warehouses around the globe. Here we buy, test and store equipment including Land Cruiser 4X4s, communications material, power supplies, water-processing facilities and nutritional supplements.
We also store thousands of tents, shelter kits and other non-perishable items. Planes can be loaded and flown into crisis areas within 24 hours.
Permanent emergency teams work in our headquarters. These experts deploy to coordinate our response and assess the needs as soon as the disaster strikes. They then call up experienced MSF staff from a pool; these people can be on the ground within days.
