Emergency Preparedness & Safety Stock Storage
How is Product Supply Maintained During Disruptions?
Natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, and unexpected demand events can place approved medicines at risk of interruption. Manufacturers increasingly require pre‑positioned, compliant safety stock to protect continuity of supply and ensure rapid response when standard distribution channels are disrupted.
Tanner Pharma supports manufacturer emergency preparedness by enabling the secure storage, regulatory‑compliant holding, and rapid deployment of safety stock in strategic locations—without requiring permanent in‑country infrastructure. This model allows manufacturers to proactively mitigate risk and respond quickly in the event of a disruption.
Tanner Pharma manages regulatory compliance, logistics coordination and operational oversight
to ensure products reach patients quickly, safely, and sustainably while longer-term commercial or supply strategies are established.
Scenarios for Emergency Preparedness & Safety Storage
When an unexpected medicine shortage or access gap creates urgent risk to patient continuity.
When approved products must be supplied quickly without established local distribution operations.
When short- to mid-term warehousing, temperature-controlled storage, and logistics management are needed while a long-term solution is implemented.
When manufacturers require pre-positioned inventory to protect against natural disasters, geopolitical events, or transportation failures that could interrupt standard supply routes.

1. Is this service intended for humanitarian emergency response or manufacturer supply continuity?
This service is designed for manufacturer emergency preparedness and supply continuity, not humanitarian or NGO‑led disaster response. Tanner supports manufacturers by securely storing approved products as safety stock, enabling rapid deployment in the event of natural disasters, supply chain disruption, or other unforeseen events that could impact normal distribution.
2. Where and how is safety stock stored?
Safety stock is stored in GDP‑compliant, temperature‑controlled facilities located strategically to support rapid access and deployment. Tanner manages warehousing, inventory oversight, and logistics coordination in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, allowing manufacturers to maintain preparedness without establishing permanent in‑country infrastructure.
3. When can stored safety stock be released and distributed?
Stored safety stock can be released when a defined triggering event occurs—such as a natural disaster, transportation failure, or supply interruption—that threatens continuity of supply. Tanner coordinates the controlled release and distribution of inventory in line with regulatory requirements and the manufacturer’s predefined emergency response or continuity plan.
