The United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) is a network of depots around the world that stores, manages and transports emergency items for humanitarian organisations. By prepositioning these items, UN agencies, NGOs and governments can respond faster and more efficiently to people in need and disasters. The depots are strategically located near disaster-prone areas; Accra (Ghana), Dubai (UAE), Subang (Malaysia), Panama City (Panama), Las Palmas (Spain), and Brindisi (Italy). Emergency supplies are stored in all locations, ready to be deployed within 48 hours of an emergency. The depots hold emergency relief goods such as medical kits, shelter items, ready-to-use food, IT equipment and operational support assets which are all designed to support emergency preparedness and response. Currently, the UNHRD Network has 61 partners. ==History== UNHRD was established under the United Nations Reform to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of humanitarian assistance, with the specific mandate to ‘assist the population living in countries affected by natural disasters or complex emergencies, through a prepositioning of relief and survival items and their rapid demobilization to the affected countries.’ In 2000, the World Food Programme (WFP) was assigned the operation and management of this common service by the UN. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
