Mission: Our mission is to assist in times of catastrophic emergency by coordinating donated aircraft to provide a powerful, immediate response to disaster. By matching aircraft with emergency response teams and critical supplies, we are able to provide a vital window of assistance to save lives and aid those in need.




----

We are an NBAA–endorsed group of experienced aviation specialists who coordinate emergency aviation response during disasters. Our primary mission is to assist governments and NGOs by moving people and supplies to where they are most needed.

Since Operation Katrina and Operation Haiti, we have incorporated and been granted 501c3 non-profit status by the IRS and have established and met many objectives to make the next emergency response more efficient, more effective and safer.

Primary among those objectives is the establishment of five major logistics bases in the United States, which will allow us to begin initial response efforts as rapidly as possible. To do this we are continually forming new working relationships with FBOs, NGOs, Government agencies and aircraft owner/operators. The coordination of effort and intelligence that these relationships provide will serve to ensure that the assets pledged to us are utilized to maximum effect in time of need.

For more information on our efforts to plan and prepare for future disaster responses, please select the "Our Future" tab

Additionally, our existing relationships with various NGO's that flew their personel, equipment and supplies to Haiti on our coordinated flights during the initial response to the disaster continue to afford us opportunities to assist in ongoing relief efforts.

Please look through our site and consider joining us in both preparing for, and reacting to, future relief efforts. For more information, please contact us at our address, via email or via telephone to (951) 491-9827.

Notes:

The Humanitarian Alliance, a group of Japan and US based non-profit organizations and corporations, is working collaboratively to develop a supply chain that will allow three different avenues for individuals and corporations to contribute by donating dollars and requested supplies.

Avenues to direct resources will include the following:

1) Cash Donations for Direct Bulk Purchase In Japan Through an International Wholesale Chain (for $2,000 you can purchase a pallet of diapers) CLICK HERE TO VIEW WHOLESALE ORDER FORM

2) Product Donations to a Central Warehouse in Tokyo Which will Feed into the local Distribution Network.

3) Donations of select products (only those requested and able to clear customs) in the US that will be transported via air cargo/ocean vessel from Los Angeles to Tokyo to link with the Local Distribution Network.

By far, the fastest, most responsive method for donation to best service the people of Japan is number 1. Cash Donations for Direct Bulk Purchase In Japan. The system is in place and the Eagles Wings Foundation is helping to coordinate the donations so your contribution is tax deductible AND that ONLY the requested and most urgent items are purchased and available on the ground in Japan within 24 hours of your donation being made.

This method of Direct Bulk Purchases streamlines the process of giving in many respects. The products they receive are familiar and written in their own language, there are no customs or duty issues, the Japanese people have continued employment and the groups receive them within 24 hours after the purchase is made and is therefore responsive to the changing dynamic needs of the people of Japan.

In the next week, a few trial runs should be completed and we can put out more information on donation avenues 2 and 3 (listed above) including lists of supplies that can be collected in the US and shipped to the warehouse in LA for distribution. For right now, we want everyone to encourage their friends, family and corporations that want to give to Japan to give now through the link above.

Once you have made a donation you will receive an acknowledgement letter from AERObridge and for donations over $1500.00 you will receive an invoice of items purchased.

Thank you for supporting the people of Japan in this critical time!
