Abstract: This article reviewed the literature on humanitarian logistics in Rio Grande do Sul, highlighting the best practices to face the challenges in emergencies. The main objective is to identify and analyze the factors that can improve humanitarian operations, emphasizing inter-agency collaboration, team training, and the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The methodology adopted consists of the analysis of academic publications and relevant reports that discuss logistics practices in disaster contexts. The results point to the need for a collaborative approach, where government, NGOs and local communities work in synergy, avoiding duplication of efforts. It is concluded that, although there are significant challenges in humanitarian logistics, there is a consensus on the practices that should be adopted. The articulation between collaboration, training and technological innovation is essential to optimize humanitarian operations in Rio Grande do Sul, offering practical guidelines that can be implemented by organizations involved in crisis management.
