About

The book "Strengthening Post-Hurricane Supply Chain Resilience" looks at how hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria affected supply chains in Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. It describes the challenges faced during these storms and offers ideas to make supply chains stronger for future disasters. The report highlights lessons learned about keeping goods moving during crises and suggests ways to improve planning and infrastructure. The study was conducted by experts who worked together for two years to provide recommendations on making supply chains more adaptable in times of disaster.
