notes: When the earthquake hit Haiti, AmericasRelief Team immediately mobilized. AmericasRelief Team activated its Emergency Operations Center, helping the general public understand the needs on the ground and collection sites in the community, as well as working with our partners in order to connect donations with available cargo space. We were in immediate communication with the U.S. Southern Command, with whom we hold a Memorandum of Understanding and cooperate with at times of disaster around the Americas. Additionally, we have been in constant communication with partnering NGOs and logistics providers in order to meet the needs on the ground as quickly and efficiently as possible. Air Cargo Assistance AmericasRelief Team’s main role at times of disaster is to facilitate the transport of needed commodities to affected areas. We work hard to obtain free or discounted cargo space from our partners, and offer it to the NGO community with donations needed on the ground. Within a few days after the crisis AmericasRelief Team facilitated cargo space for ADRA, American Red Cross, Food for the Poor, Cross International, World Vision, and others through air cargo partners FedEx, Arrow Air Cargo and LAN Chile. First Responders Assistance Immediately following the earthquake AmericasRelief Team was blessed to have two passenger planes donated to the organization to transport doctors, nurses and first responders to Port-au-Prince. Ocean Cargo And Warehousing Assistance AmericasRelief Team is collaborating with almost all of the commercial shipping companies serving Haiti and the Dominican Republic, many of which are long time partners. Due to the destruction of the main port in Port-Au-Prince, and many other issues such as security needs and road conditions, AmericasRelief Team is collaborating with ocean freight companies, The U.S. Coast Guard, and Southcom on shipping options and strategies that could be used to get NGOs and IOs humanitarian aid to the displaced persons in Haiti. AmericasRelief Team is managing a humanitarian cargo staging warehouse in south Florida for International NGOs who are waiting for ocean or air cargo clearance to Haiti. Government Assistance AmericasRelief Team is proud of its association with the United States Southern Command. AmericasRelief Team collaborates with Southcom through a Memorandum of Understanding whereby AmericasRelief Team coordinates on the selection of sites for humanitarian and civic assistance, provides community facilitation, and is a member of the planning team. AmericasRelief Team provides support to NGOs on the usage of military and navy freight programs. ----- Value Added Service to NGO's AmericasRelief Team is proud to provide Value Added Services to sister non-profit organizations whose mission include helping the victims of disasters in the Caribbean and Latin America. Our work helps charities achieve their mission more efficiently, mobilize more donations, and move them to where they are needed. Over the years we have created a valuable network of supplies from around the world. We use this network and leverage to provide value to our members and non-members alike by offering to share our contacts and knowledge to help them reduce cost and improve delivery of emergency supplies. This is one way we know to strive together to help maximize efficiency of the delivery of aid, and to help minimize the suffering of victims of crises in the Caribbean Basin. -> When the earthquake hit Haiti, AmericasRelief Team immediately mobilized.
