Abstract :Purpose- The aim of this research is to bring together studies on disaster logistics in the literature and to investigate disaster logistics management. Logistics is of paramount importance in order to prevent the loss of life and property in death injuries in an extraordinary situation. The aim of this research is to investigate logistics processes at every stage of disaster logistics. Methodology- The qualitative research method was used in the study and the literature was reviewed and the logistic tools used in case of a disaster in the world were discussed. Findings- Disaster scenarios are prepared for unforeseen events before and after the disaster and logistic simulations are applied and drills are performed. For urgent needs, materials such as tents, blankets, beds, heaters and kitchen sets with a long shelf life should be provided by signing protocols with suppliers. Several firms should be preferred instead of one.Personnel training is important in disaster logistics. Throughout the organization, the logistics unit personels should be distrubeted according to their talents. Plans must be proactive, before disaster, during disaster, after disaster plans should reviewed. Conclusion- Due to the high uncertainty in terms of both supply and demand in disasters, sudden changes in the materials and materials needed in the disaster area and other such problems, the logistics unit and supply chain network must be able to overcome such negativities These requirements, which demonstrate the need for agility, require an adaptable and neatly formed flexible supply chain structure to respond quickly to changing conditions Logistics data is collected and transmitted for useare vital. Innovations in the field of logistics technology, drone, intelligent transportation systems, unmanned transportation vehicles, RFIDvs, technology-assisted disaster logistics are becoming widespread in order to save more lives in less timeKeywords : Crisis, disaster, logistics, innovation, RFID, drones
