This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resilient supply chains are crucial to maintaining the consistent delivery of goods and services to the American people. The modern economy has made supply chains more interconnected than ever, while also expanding both their range and fragility. In the third quarter of 2017, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria revealed some significant vulnerabilities in the national and regional supply chains of Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The broad impacts and quick succession of these three hurricanes also shed light on the effectiveness of the nation's disaster logistics efforts during response through recovery. Drawing on lessons learned during the 2017 hurricanes, this report explores future strategies to improve supply chain management in disaster situations. This report makes recommendations to strengthen the roles of continuity planning, partnerships between civic leaders with small businesses, and infrastructure investment to ensure that essential supply chains will remain operational in the next major disaster. Focusing on the supply chains food, fuel, water, pharmaceutical, and medical supplies, the recommendations of this report will assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency as well as state and local officials, private sector decision makers, civic leaders, and others who can help ensure that supply chains remain robust and resilient in the face of natural disasters.

Book excerpt: In an era of climate change, the rural, coastal plains of North Carolina might foretell the increased economic precariousness of coastal communities beset by stronger hurricanes and more frequent flooding. In 2016, Hurricane Matthew flooded much of North Carolina's southeastern region, inundating thousands of homes and businesses. Two years later, Hurricane Florence interrupted the state's recovery, precipitating even greater damage. Little academic work focuses on the state's recovery from the two storms, and none to date tracks the recovery of its small businesses. These businesses are important sources of employment and wages in the state's communities, yet compared to households and public facilities, they qualify for fewer sources of economic relief, and almost all of that relief consists of debt. These businesses also already bear the brunt of ongoing negative trends: increasing economic stratification between small and large firms nationwide as well as sustained rates of rural depopulation and divestment. I focus on the supply and use of small business recovery capital in order to diagnose unmet need after the hurricanes and make recommendations to foster business recovery in North Carolina after these and future disasters. On the capital "supply side," I describe slow, sometimes arbitrary and occasionally risky federal disaster recovery programs geared toward small businesses. These contrast with the relatively sophisticated, efficient system of capital absorption below the state level, which pivots around a network of distributed, community-based small business development centers and lending intermediaries. On the capital "demand side," I theorize the vulnerability of small businesses and seek to understand their financial and operational decision-making through interviews. Small businesses, which are expected to recover on their own financial merits through insurance, debt financing, and savings, must also rely on factors well beyond their control: the availability of affordable and rapid debt capital, the quick resurgence of local spending after a disaster, and the public resolution of market failures through limited grant funding. Absent significant improvements in the penetration of insurance, disaster credit, and hazard mitigation, these businesses will continue to face rising fixed costs, diminished access to credit, tighter operating margins, and a higher probability of failure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improve business efficiency, eliminate day-to-day mishaps, and prepare for the worst-with effective disaster contingency planning Working in lower Manhattan on September 11th, 2001, Donna Childs became keenly aware of the need for small businesses to develop disaster contingency plans and grateful that her own business had implemented such plans and would remain financially sound. Now, with the assistance of IT consultant Stefan Dietrich, she draws upon her unique experience to present proven guidelines for small and midsize businesses to effectively prepare for catastrophes in Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery: A Small Business Guide. Childs and Dietrich take small business owners through every stage of disaster planning, from preparation to response to recovery. Specific issues addressed include: * What to do if the main office location is not accessible * Getting the business up and running again * Contacting third parties * Handling insurance claims * Adequate insurance for property, business interruption losses, and workers' compensation * Rebuilding an IT infrastructure Successful planning not only can limit the damage of an unforeseen disaster but also can minimize daily mishaps-such as the mistaken deletion of files-and increase a business's overall efficiency. Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery is the only contingency guide that small business owners need to ensure their company's continued success.

Download or read book Healthy Resilient and Sustainable Communities After Disasters written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the devastation that follows a major disaster, there is a need for multiple sectors to unite and devote new resources to support the rebuilding of infrastructure, the provision of health and social services, the restoration of care delivery systems, and other critical recovery needs. In some cases, billions of dollars from public, private and charitable sources are invested to help communities recover. National rhetoric often characterizes these efforts as a "return to normal." But for many American communities, pre-disaster conditions are far from optimal. Large segments of the U.S. population suffer from preventable health problems, experience inequitable access to services, and rely on overburdened health systems. A return to pre-event conditions in such cases may be short-sighted given the high costs - both economic and social - of poor health. Instead, it is important to understand that the disaster recovery process offers a series of unique and valuable opportunities to improve on the status quo. Capitalizing on these opportunities can advance the long-term health, resilience, and sustainability of communities - thereby better preparing them for future challenges. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters identifies and recommends recovery practices and novel programs most likely to impact overall community public health and contribute to resiliency for future incidents. This book makes the case that disaster recovery should be guided by a healthy community vision, where health considerations are integrated into all aspects of recovery planning before and after a disaster, and funding streams are leveraged in a coordinated manner and applied to health improvement priorities in order to meet human recovery needs and create healthy built and natural environments. The conceptual framework presented in Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters lays the groundwork to achieve this goal and provides operational guidance for multiple sectors involved in community planning and disaster recovery. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters calls for actions at multiple levels to facilitate recovery strategies that optimize community health. With a shared healthy community vision, strategic planning that prioritizes health, and coordinated implementation, disaster recovery can result in a communities that are healthier, more livable places for current and future generations to grow and thrive - communities that are better prepared for future adversities.
