Freight Supply Chain Resilience Study – completed 2022

Overview

We know from past and more current events, such as hurricanes and pandemics, that supply chain disruptions may occur not only when production is stopped by a manufacturer but also when transportation network facilities are blocked, congested, slowed-down, or damaged. Recognizing the importance of supply chains in our daily lives as Hillsborough County citizens, the Hillsborough Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) initiated the Freight Supply Chain Resilience Study to:

  • Better understand the supply chains of five critical commodities/services applicable to Hillsborough County;
  • Determine potential impacts/vulnerabilities/disruptions to these supply chains as a result of three individual disaster or hazard scenarios and two combinations of concurrent disaster scenarios, as well as impacts of climate change factors (such as sea level rise); and
  • Identify actions that can mitigate potential supply chain disruptions, address ways to help the supply chains recover quickly under various disaster scenarios, and strengthen the resilience of the supply chains (and their enabling functions) along with the communities that they support.
