Resumen

This study aimed to analyze the difficulties of humanitarian logistics practiced among the riverside dwellers of the Tarumã Mirim River during the drought and to propose courses of action capable of mitigating its harmful impacts. The survey method was used, with data collected through semi-structured interviews and observation with a sample intentionally chosen from among the actors with the most significant participation and knowledge of the logistics actions practiced, analyzed with semantic and content analysis techniques, and the results presented in summary tables. The results showed that the difficulties in a) transporting goods were the reduction in river levels and the appearance of sandbanks and rocks; b) in the distribution of essential services were the failures in the supply of water and energy and health and education; in communication, the existence of few transmission towers, the lack of fiber optics, the lack of satellite communication and the high prices of communication equipment; d) the impacts of the difficulties were the reduction in the transport of goods, the impossibility of river traffic and the inability to carry out environmental logistics; and e) mitigation was to create infrastructure and access to water resources, improve transportation infrastructure, promote economic resilience, preserve the environment with sustainable resource management, strengthen participatory public policies and partnerships and universalize information and communication technology. The conclusion points to the lack of systematic humanitarian logistics during the 2024 drought, whose actions were closer to improvisation than those of other regions cataloged in scientific databases.
