Abstract

This dissertation focuses on the examination and analysis of humanitarian operations in the context of wildfires in Greece, with particular emphasis on the cases of Mati in 2018 and Northern Evia in 2021. It explores how humanitarian supply chain management practices and methods were utilized, as well as the effectiveness of logistics operations, including storage, distribution of goods and communication. A comparative analysis of the two cases is conducted in order to highlight improvements made between the two events and to assess whether these led to a more effective crisis response. The aim of this dissertation is to identify best practices and weaknesses within the humanitarian supply chain, with the ultimate goal of optimizing crisis management and mitigating the impacts of such disasters. The comparison of the Mati and Northern Evia wildfires is of particular significance, as they represent two of the most devastating wildfire events in modern Greek history. The importance of this dissertation lies in the urgent need to improve supply chain management processes during humanitarian crises, aiming for faster and more efficient responses to natural disasters. The findings emphasize the need to strengthen public-private sector collaboration, upgrade infrastructure and enhance staff training through the use of new technologies. Finally, special attention is given to strategies that can enhance the sustainability of an effective humanitarian supply chain.
