Point of distribution refers to the area in which the community moves, and selects the emergency supplies after the disaster. This is important in areas where there are no organizations that support the general distribution of food, water or other materials. The need for distribution of POD, location, personnel, and equipment in the distribution area is determined by the Local Emergency Management Agency. The distribution point should include vehicles, pedestrians, travel missions, or a combination of all of the above. Because of its complexity, there are things that can be done to facilitate the smooth movement of the delivery point and avoid disasters. Therefore, it is beneficial to manage disaster risk and prevent ongoing disaster outbreaks. It should be located in more populated areas, which should be considered when distributing.
Points of distribution are useful for the emergency response in order to facilitate people in disasters. Logistics affirms the importance of POD’s. Effective distribution systems allow you to quickly distribute these items among the population. In most cases, there are a number of principles governing the distribution point. It is necessary for your vehicles to get enough of the three houses. Most of these points have easy access to responsiveness by entering and exiting the site. These positive tools and personnel are qualified to work with local disaster situations. Work is much cheaper and it is ready to serve the community, as it consists mainly of volunteers who are easily managed with less labor.
Certain factors are there which determine the location of the POD’s to be made. It’s made sure that the routes to POD’s are easily going to facilitate people. Nevertheless POD’s are much effective because of their importance that people get facilitated in their area. In my view POD’s are having many advantages.
