Field Ready has demonstrated its approach to transforming humanitarian aid in places as diverse as remote island communities to those deeply affected by conflict and forced displacement. To remain our level of preparedness, we maintain an emergency response capacity. When there is a large-scale disaster and a need for the approach developed by Field Ready, we can deploy in as little as 72 hours to meet immediate need. “This team provides an edge for meeting needs in a unique

Field Ready’s emergency response team is equipped to respond to disasters within 72 hours. We have responded to a number of emergencies recently. Here's some examples: the water crisis in South Sudan, the 2017 hurricanes in the Caribbean and volcano Ambae in Vanuatu. The Pacific Region is one of the most prone to disasters including, floods, droughts, tropical cyclones, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. We are currently building our roster in the Pacific Region s

Hurricane Irma has been the most powerful and destructive hurricane recorded in the Atlantic. The destruction began in the Caribbean when Irma’s winds were a Category 5, the strongest measure on the hurricane wind scale. The losses from Irma are still being quantified, however we know that lives, property and critical infrastructure have been lost in over ten countries. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced. In many places, power has been lost. With the loss of powe

In order to strengthen capacity and respond immediately to the needs of our beneficiaries when a crisis occurs, Field Ready created the Rapid Emergency Deployment (RED) Team in 2016. This enable Field Ready to have a 'surge' capacity to to respond to rapid onset emergencies and support countries programs where Field Ready has an urgent need. Field Ready is now scaling its approach whilst being able to respond to emergency humanitarian need where there is little prior notice (

The following is a short story of how Field Ready is an organization that is always pushing the limits. It's 10pm and I still have a lot to pack before our flight to Juba in the morning. This is my first trip as a “Technical Adviser” as a part of Field Ready’s “RED Team”, and I am trying to gather together everything I could possibly need for two weeks of 3D printing prototypes with Water for South Sudan. As I have very little idea of what infrastructure may or may not await

With many crises worldwide, we are pragmatic in our approach to deploy to new countries. We are always exploring the potential to expand our reach and the growing number of crisis requires a carefully considered approach. Syria represents the worst humanitarian crisis of this time. And this is why we made it a priority country for Field Ready. South Sudan experiences a range of problems such as famine and cholera outbreaks in addition to violent conflict. This is why we are p

Field Ready has demonstrated its approach to transforming humanitarian logistics in a variety of countries and contexts. Yet the reality of rapid onset disasters remains ever present and this requires an ability to “surge” staff and resources with little warning. To this end, Field Ready has created an emergency response capacity through its Rapid Emergency Deployment (RED) team. When there is a large-scale disaster and a need for the approach developed by Field Ready, our RE
