Episode notes

We follow the lead of the non provet organizations, meaning we ask them which products are needed. We have to kind of almost match three different sides. Rights, we have to co ordinate with the parties that are on the ground receiving the items. And then we need this midal piece, which is setting up the logistics,. So making sure that we have a truck picking up the goods, that planes are ready to then bring the goods to eastern europe, if necessary and then from there the distribution.

“My big call to action would be to support existing organizations,” says Susy Schöneberg, the founder and head of Flexport.org, the nonprofit arm of the logistics firm Flexport. Schöneberg and her team are organizing complex shipments of relief goods to Ukrainian refugee sites across Eastern Europe; she breaks down how her organization has been safely managing the flow of goods toward displaced refugees and the best way you can get involved — as a citizen or company. She leaves us with a lesson that applies to any crisis: joining together can produce far better results than trying to do it alone.
