A SAP Concur blog post introduces its 'Surge Blanket Travel' functionality, designed to help federal government agencies rapidly and efficiently deploy large numbers of relief personnel during simultaneous disasters. The article recounts the record-setting disaster year of 2017 and notes that the previous paper-based travel authorization process was inefficient. The new functionality allows for the deployment of personnel from multiple origins to a common crisis destination using a single travel authorization, enabling a reliable, scalable, compliant, auditable, and agile response.
