Firefighters played a crucial part in the distribution concept I came up with two weeks ago. Nice to see something like that being implemented!

Do you have any details of how the logistics are run, especially the last mile? Really curious, because I never heard back from German authorities so far.

I'm not sure there is much coverage of that in English - from the local news, it looks like this:

- stuff gets ordered via Czech economic mission in China, communication goes by Chinese speaking Czech experts remotely, coordinating even the planes being loaded and other details

- plane lands in Pardubice/Prague/Ostrava airport

- supplies go to government stockpile in Opočník, designated as the centrail distribution point (from PRague and Ostrava I guess it might go directly to the destination sometimes, as that could be quicker that getting to Opočník & then back)

- army and firefigter transport it from the central stockpile to hispitals/care homes/minicipal offices/to army/firefighters/police who need it
