PART 1: Discussions (1.5 PAGE)
Part 1: In recent natural disasters and emergency events in the United States, the disaster caused disruptions in supply chains and availability of products. Consider Hurricane Ida, the freezing and ice in Texas, and the wildfires in California and discuss what some of the effects were? Why do you think there were disruptions? You can use real-world experience for any emergency if you want. (2 references)
Part 2: WINTER STORM DISCUSSION: INITIAL SCENARIO
Sunday, 5:00 PM: The National Weather Service (NWS) detects a cold front moving toward Saint Leo City. Weather officials urge citizens to prepare for a large storm that will likely begin in the next 24 hrs. A winter storm warning is issued by NWS for Saint Leo City as well as surrounding areas within 100 miles. The NWS predicts light snow that will likely mix with or change to sleet from freezing rain with significant icing possible by tomorrow afternoon. Ice accumulation will likely be between ½ and 1 inch, with highest icing potential near downtown. The public is advised to expect widespread power outages, damaged trees, and treacherous road conditions because of the ice storm. Local schools are beginning to announce closures for Monday.
Who in the organization is responsible for monitoring or would likely receive the alert from NWS? How would they receive it?
What guidance should leadership issue to the organization based upon this alert? What information should be shared with employees? How should the information be communicated? Who should decide and what communication platforms are available?
When you hear the weather storm warning, what are your immediate concerns for supply chain operations? What components of supply chain operations could be affected by the winter storm?
Based upon the forecast, it seems that your organization will experience significant winter weather over the next 24hrs. What decisions need to be made? Are they being made by leadership or who needs or make them? What are risks and ideas to mitigate them?

See full FAQWe complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.
We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.
