Emergency Response

The ability to rapidly respond to emergencies is vital to WFP’s work. Since the launch of the partnership, TNT has developed programmes and committed resources to help WFP in emergency response.

TNT can respond to requests from WFP within 48 hours and support them in emergencies in the following areas: Aviation, Warehousing, Transportation, Reporting and Communications.
 

TNT supports WFP in emergencies with the Emergency Response Team; a pool of more than 60 dedicated and trained people who can be deployed to the field within two days. TNT can also offer support via Special Services, TNT Airways, Local bridging and through the involvement of third parties.

Over the past five years, TNT has supported WFP in relief operations in countries all over the world – providing 550 staff members as well as trucks, warehouses, airlifts and boat rentals.
