Subject: A study was conducted on ways and means to improve the operational capacity of emergency stockpiles, as well as an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages, including promptness of the response and cost-effectiveness of the establishment of regional warehouses, taking into account the existing facilities and the possibility of strengthening them. The results clearly show that the existing system of emergency stockpiles represents a balance between the identified needs and the available resources and mandates given to the UN and other international relief organisations. However, the operational capacity of existing emergency stockpiles can be improved inter alia through an increased awareness of each other's capacities, cooperation in the procurement, storage and delivery of relief items on a cost-sharing basis, the development and utilisation packaging adapted to relief operations, and the application of simplified customs and other procedures for moving relief shipments
