The DRTs’ mission is to reduce congestion at airports receiving unsolicited humanitarian relief goods in the aftermath of major sudden-onset natural disasters. There are currently 3 DRTs: - DRT Asia Pacific - DRT Americas - DRT Middle East and Africa Each DRT is made up of 15 employee volunteers drawn from a pool of people.
