Weathering a supply chain disaster
Subtitle: The lessons of the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina seem to have been quickly forgotten in many quarters, leaving the U.S. nearly as vulnerable to a major disaster as ever before. Government plans focus on eliminating risks rather than reducing the impact of a bad event. At the center of any disaster preparedness plan is good supply chain management.Infrastructure at risk : security analyst Stephen Flynn sounds alarm about domestic preparedness. -- Building resilient supply chains : shippers, transportation and logistics companies learn lessons from poor pre-Katrina planning. -- Menlo's rapid response warehouse. -- Getting busy : DHS, industry try to coordinate post-disaster response for freight transport. -- Security can improve decision-making.
