Natural disasters are occurring with alarming frequency. With the mudslides in California, hurricanes in the southern United States and Caribbean, and earthquakes in Mexico and Pakistan, and rising floodwaters on the Seine River in France. This devastation is often exacerbated by the lack of supplies reaching the hardest hit areas, stalling relief efforts and prohibiting victims from getting the assistance they need. The ripple effect of the disaster can be far reaching, disrupting economies beyond the local damage and preventing raw materials and other goods from reaching their final destinations.
