Figure 5
Five heatmap panels compare humanitarian supply chain application domains with supply chain stages, disaster contexts, country settings, outcomes and disaster phases.Panel a contains three heatmaps. Application domains are compared with humanitarian supply chain stages, natural disaster types and broader disaster types. Situational awareness and resource logistics have the strongest visible concentrations across several categories. Panel b compares country development groups and disaster phases with application domains. Resource logistics and situational awareness have prominent concentrations for middle and developed country groups and during response and preparation phases. Panel c compares application domains with outcomes including resource adjustment, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability and adaptability, and visibility and accessibility. Effectiveness has the strongest visible concentration. Panel d compares least, middle and developed country groups with urban and rural settings. The developed country and urban combination has the strongest visible concentration. Panel e compares disaster types with mitigation, preparation, response and recovery phases. Natural sudden disasters have the strongest visible concentration during response.
