2. About Us
People want to help the survivors of disasters.
A national network of supply-chain companies, American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN)
enables business capacity to respond quickly to the logistics needs of essential goods
and services to affected communities.
Our partners are experts in transportation, warehousing, cold chain and distribution. We
use the latest technology which allows business to respond quickly and efficiently to
requests from those most affected by disaster – the people on the ground.
A business’s continuity and resilience is the first contribution it can make to the victims of
disaster.
ALAN’s network of businesses helps ensure that disaster relief arrives when and where it
is needed most.

3. Giving Back
Brenda McNaughton didn’t know that her life would change on
April 27, 2011. Or that she would begin to overcome her tragedy
by helping others.
Brenda lost her home and possessions to the terrible storm system
that hit Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia that spring.
Fortunately, Brenda and her family received emergency
assistance within hours of the tornado hitting, and they began to
rebuild their lives.
About a week after the storm hit, Brenda’s boss , Mike Steely,
told her that her company, Cold Chain Transportation was going
to help Convoy of Hope – an event arranged by ALAN to deliver
disaster supplies to a nearby community.
Brenda and Cold Chain Transportation were eager to lend a
hand.
“I really wanted to make the delivery. I was tearing up when
Mike asked me,” Brenda said. “I was so grateful to everyone who
helped me. It was my turn to give.”
You and your business can help victims of disaster, too. By
supporting ALAN, you will help restore communities – its people
and businesses.

5. Keeping Business in Business
Keeping business in business after a disaster is one of the first steps to
rebuilding a community.
ALAN’s work promotes greater situational awareness as to road closures,
curfews, power supplies and communications as well as partnerships
and cooperative effort that can keep businesses operating.
Regardless of size, businesses can improve their survivability and
resilience through trusted relationships with other businesses,
government, and with nonprofit relief groups.
Your support helps improve collaboration and information sharing and
will help keep employees safe, keep business operating after a disaster
and will enhance the resilience of the communities businesses serve.
