Where can you find information on warehouses?
Following chapters of the LCA: Commercial storage, storage used by humanitarian organizations, public sector storage, cold chain storage.
Logistics Cluster website: Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
Yellow Pages
UN organisations, NGOs and private companies
Major importers and wholesalers (see local supplies market section in LCA)
http://log.logcluster.org/response/warehouse-management/index.html
Useful tips:
In the process of the selection of your warehouse(s), feedback from users will be useful (UN organisations, NGOs and private company).
Consider sharing warehouse space with other NGOs as a cost-saving measure but ensure very clear delineation of space, controls and liabilities
Check the possibilities of finding temporary mobile storage structures (MSU’s)
Check that the cost calculation follows the same methodology between different agents (Metric tons, volume, and surface area) and then compare the prices. (At the end the price should not be the single criteria for selection)
Take pictures while visiting potential warehouses.
Keep in mind that you will probably have the owner giving you a visit and then, trying to “sell” you the place. Pay attention to details.
