In the wake of January 12's tragic earthquake in Haiti, MHEDA is working with the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) and major humanitarian relief agencies to identify the most critical relief needs.

As needs are identified that can be met through the expertise and resources of ALAN's member base, MHEDA Members will be notified, and the needs will be posted on the ALAN web portal: www.ALANaid.org.

"While ALAN's focus has been primarily domestic, its mission is to engage the supply chain community to support humanitarian relief efforts wherever the need arises," says Jock Menzies, ALAN president. "Our hearts go out to the people of Haiti, and we&quo;re eager to support their needs through our network of supply chain professionals."
