NGO Disaster Logistics Planner

This dataset provides detailed, real-time records of NGO-managed supply movements during disaster response, including shipment details, warehouse and delivery site locations, transportation modes, timing, and operational challenges such as bottlenecks and shortages. It is designed to help nonprofits and logistics planners optimize resource allocation, identify bottlenecks, and improve delivery efficiency under crisis conditions. The dataset supports scenario testing for supply chain resilience and disaster preparedness.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 85 rows came out of a blueprint — 38 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each disaster response event must involve at least two resource types (e.g., water, medicine).
  • Transportation delays are generated based on weather severity and road accessibility tags.
  • Warehouse inventory adjusts dynamically as deliveries are dispatched and received.
  • Allocation prioritizes critical zones based on severity score and population affected.
  • Resource shortages trigger rerouting or alternative sourcing in at least 15% of cases.
