Transportation systems play a critical role in maintaining supply chains for effective post-disaster recovery. Modeling the potential economic impact of transportation-related disruptions is an important step to promoting pre-event community-wide recovery and resilience planning. But existing supply chain and economic impact models are cost prohibitive and overly sophisticated for public sector entities with limited resources. There is also limited understanding of how small and medium enterprises adjust to post-disaster transportation disruption and how this experience influences their future preparedness for similar events. Divya Chandrasekhar of University of Utah has developed a collaborative framework for supply chain and economic impact assessments, and guidance on how to transfer this framework to other communities.
