Abstract:
Purpose:
The purpose of managing natural disasters and supply chain disruptions is to minimize their
effects on the supply chain and guarantee that businesses and communities can continue to
operate. Natural calamities including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and tsunamis
can seriously and widely affect supply chains, causing disruptions in the flow of products,
services, and information. Reduce the negative effects on enterprises, economies, and
communities by managing natural disasters and supply chain interruptions. Even in the face of
natural disasters, organizations can increase their resilience, minimize losses, and guarantee
the continuity of important products and services by putting into practice smart measures.
Methodology & Design:
A methodical approach to identifying possible risks, developing strategies for mitigation and
reaction, and ensuring the resilience and continuity of the supply chain are all part of the
methodology and design of managing natural catastrophes and supply chain disruptions. A
proactive and methodical strategy is used in the methodology and design for managing natural
catastrophes and supply chain disruptions in order to identify risks, establish plans, increase
resilience, and guarantee efficient response and recovery capabilities. Organizations
can
reduce the effects of natural disasters on their supply chains and ensure business continuity by
using these practices
Findings:
The findings of research on managing supply chain disruptions and natural disasters emphasize
the necessity of proactive risk mitigation plans, cooperation among supply chain stakeholders,
supply chain resilience, utilizing technology, and efficient governmental regulations.
Organizations may create strong plans to control the effects of natural disasters on their supply
chains and ensure business continuity by understanding these facts.
Limitations:
Small sample size, data collection challenges, shallow analysis, a possible bias, lack of
longitudinal perspective, limited causal inference, validation challenges, time constraints for
literature review, and limited peer review opportunities are a few of them. To improve the
efficiency of managing natural disasters and supply chain disruptions, it is critical to be aware
of these limits and strive towards overcoming them. To create robust and adaptable supply
chains, businesses should continuously evaluate and enhance their plans, adjust to new risks,
and work with stakeholders.
Recommendations:
Invest in thorough risk analysis. Encourage collaboration between people. Real-time
monitoring should be used. Design with flexibility and redundancy in mind. Create thorough
response strategies and carry out regular testing, constantly tweak your tactics. Engage with
government organizations and stakeholders. Spend money on staff training
