HA/DP ALT contractors will provide support in the following three task areas: Task 1: Assessment, Task 2: Logistics, Task 3: Training The USSOUTHCOM requires contractor support in the area of HA/DP ALT. The nations of Latin America and the Caribbean have continually experienced a turbulent history of widespread natural disasters. Throughout the region, J4 USSOUTHCOM in collaboration wit h 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 of recipient countries to respond to humanitarian emergencies and reduce the need for U.S. Military Assistance. The J4 is responsible for tailoring community development actions in developing countries with a strong emphasis on regions/villages potentially susceptible to natural or man-made disasters. HA/DP activities meet two key requirements; to maintain a robust overseas presence aimed at shaping the international security environment in a manner that deters would-be aggressors, strengthens friends and allies, and promotes peace and stability in regions of tension, and when called upon assist the victims of storms , earthquakes and other natural or manmade disasters. This fraction of the program is also tailored to help partner nations; particularly those that have been affected by disaster or hardship, to improve healthcare, education and ensuring sustainable commu nity development. The ultimate goal is to build the capacity of community members in order to meet existing and future challenges and mitigate the need for U.S. assistance.
