WASHINGTON, March 31, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- It could come in the form of a widespread electrical blackout. Or it may occur on the heels of a massive storm. Local infrastructures are broken in the aftermath of a disaster. When that happens, transportation shutdowns and telecommunications failures can cut off your access to the critical suppliers that keep your business open.

Developing a resilient and diverse supply chain is the best way to protect your company from costly shutdowns, while also helping you maintain your competitive edge.
