Floods and Logistics

The recent floods in the Southern part of Peninsular Malaysia raise few points with regards to logistics and transportation.

1. Movement of goods for relief purposes is very important. Its about life and death.
2. Cheap, fast and safe movement of supplies to flood victims is the main factor to be considered.
3. Quick evacuation of the children, elderly and disabled is top priority.

As such transportation planning and coordination in such circumstances is very critical. Do we have enough professional to execute the mission?
