Transportation Seminar Series
Peru Transportation Profile
Dec 8, 2008 (3:00 - 4:00 p.m., IACC 422)
The presentation will provide a brief history of Peru including its topography, geography, culture, and transportation infrastructure. Many factors are present when other nations decide to assist in the event of a disaster and this country study gives information for planning purposes for military and NGOs on the country of Peru. Peru is a nation that has been plagued by natural disasters and currently has minimal emergency management experience. A detailed analysis of the transportation infrastructure, how military and humanitarian aid organizations can utilize the infrastructure, and current improvements being made to the transportation infrastructure will be discussed. The intent is to give students and faculty an overview of the country and discuss logistical issues that will need to be overcome in the event military or NGOs move into Peru to assist during a natural disaster.
