Kathy explains how truckers, warehouses, and supply chain professionals play a critical role in disaster response and recovery, often serving as the lifeline that keeps aid moving to those in need.


From FEMA partnerships to climate resilience, Kathy shares how ALAN leverages the trucking and logistics industry’s unique skills to make disaster relief faster, smarter, and more effective.
