Communities are not simply recipients of humanitarian assistance. They possess knowledge, relationships, capabilities and an understanding of local needs that are essential to effective humanitarian response. HumanOS works to strengthen the connections that allow communities to participate in identifying needs, coordinating capabilities and shaping response.

Transportation, warehousing, technology, communications, professional expertise, equipment, facilities, supply chains, data, research and specialized services can all become humanitarian capabilities. HumanOS helps connect those capabilities with humanitarian needs and with the organizations responding to them.
