Emergency Supply Pre-Positioning Strategies (ESUPS)
            

The Emergency Supply Pre-Positioning Strategies (ESUPS) Working Group was created with the aim to improve the predictability and relevance of pre-positioned emergency supplies. The ultimate goal of ESUPS is to ensure that the humanitarian community has the right items in the right quantities pre-positioned in the right places, with a minimum of duplication and overhead, in order to deploy life-saving emergency supplies in sudden-onset disasters more rapidly and adequately. ESUPS, which is jointly managed by a multitude of humanitarian responders, among others aims to:

• The reduction or elimination of gaps and overlaps in emergency preparedness;
• A more adequate emergency response utilizing appropriate types and quantities of emergency supplies;
• A better use of donor funds;
• A timelier and more appropriate response to affected populations; and
• A user-oriented and accepted information sharing platform to support global emergency supply pre-positioning strategies.
