Supply Chain Resilience Guide

Supply Chain Resilience Guide

In recent years the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have engaged with state, local, tribal and territorial partners, private sector, civic sector, and the academic community in a series of innovative interactions to enhance supply chain resilience. This guide reflects the issues explored and the lessons (still being) learned from this process. The guide is designed to help emergency managers at every level think through the challenge and opportunity presented by supply chain resilience. Specific suggestions are made related to research, outreach, and action.
