Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP)

The USSOUTHCOM requires contractor support in the area of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Preparedness (HA/DP). The nations of Central America, South America and the Caribbean have continually experienced a turbulent history of widespread natural disasters. Throughout the region, the USSOUTHCOM J79-4 Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP), in collaboration with local, national, regional, international, governmental, and non-governmental organizations are working together to improve the host nations disaster response capabilities. This has been accomplished by increasing the capacity and regional infrastructure of host nations through support of established Regional Emergency Management Mechanisms. A coordinated effort between the U.S. Country Teams and USSOUTHCOM has improved the capacity, capability, and timeliness of recipient countries to respond to humanitarian emergencies and thereby reduce the need for U.S. Military Assistance.
