Note from the editor
Today marks the start of hurricane season, and supply chains know the drill of risk planning and preparations: Reposition inventory, ensure equipment is up to snuff and have buffer stock on hand.
But are the usual preparations enough? Global warming is creating more frequent and destructive natural disasters, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts an above-normal hurricane season this year. As the climate changes, so must risk and resilience planning.
Together with our sister publication Transport Dive, we're rolling out a series of articles that look at the effects of climate change and severe weather on logistics networks. First up, Reporter Matt Leonard takes a deep dive into the impact of severe storms and sea-level rise on seaports. Some ports have worked climate change into their resilience plans. But the reality is, most have not. Read the deep dive here.
