Puerto Rico as a Research and Training Center
☐
National Disaster Preparedness
As an island, consideration must be given to Puerto Rico's unique
requirements when engaged with relief efforts that stem from unfortunate
natural disasters.
■ Planning ahead is a main requirement for the Puerto Rican population to
be able to, going forward, rebound from extreme weather as quickly as
possible
■ The goal would be to, in the face of extreme weather, make existing supply
chains aware of relief networks and their capabilities and capacity
■ The foundation for this approach is based on a study conducted by
consulting firm CNA. The study highlights case studies about Hurricane
Harvey, Irma and Maria and their impact on supply chain resilience.
The Opportunity
Opportunity - Puerto Rico as the Caribbean based Research and Training
Center for a hybrid program concentrating on National Disaster
Preparedness and Supply Chain Research.
Requirements - Develop and deliver training and educational programs
related to homeland security and disaster management, with a specific
focus on natural hazards, coastal communities, and the special needs and
opportunities of islands and territories with a concentration on supply
chain management.
The Result - Supply Chain resilience in the face of extreme weather, both
as a domestic asset and a regional economic opportunity for proper
training for other islands
