The
Logistics Operations Guide (LOG) is the reference tool for UNJLC Core
Unit as well as those individuals sent to the site of an emergency
(these may be Core Unit staff, seconded staff or consultants). The LOG is also valuable for other actors in a humanitarian emergency response, providing a wealth of key information about: humanitarian logistics and emergency operations of the United Nations; the modus operandi of militaries and international organizations; the function of inter-governmental agreements; the functioning of international platforms for cooperation. The
LOG covers a wide spectrum of functions and activities. However, UNJLC
responsibilities will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending
on the context and the nature of any humanitarian emergency. The
LOG is based on a logical sequence of chronological actions taken after
the onset of a large-scale emergency requiring multi-sectoral
humanitarian support. Although the approach takes into account
the uncertainty and the unpredictability that surround humanitarian
emergencies, it is possible that, depending on the circumstances, the
structures and actions described in this LOG may have to be modified,
limited or expanded. Therefore, the LOG should only be considered as
generic guidance to help the staff officers in their tasks, in
particular during the early phases of the deployment. Besides
the application of procedures and checklists recommended in this
manual, professional skills and sound judgement, complemented by a
cooperative spirit between staff officers, agencies, other humanitarian
actors and governments will be a prerequisite to guarantee a smooth and
efficient functioning of the system. Structure of the LOG and How to Use the LOG LOG
