In my experience as an Urban & Regional planner, navigating severe weather in logistics requires foresight, adaptability, and a proactive mindset. One thing I’ve found helpful is leveraging real-time tracking and diversified transportation modes. Common mistakes include relying on a single supplier or route. To ensure resilience, assess risks, invest in technology, and communicate transparently. These actions build trust and efficiency during crises. How do you prepare for disruption?

Communication: Maintain clear and constant communication with all stakeholders, including suppliers, customers, and transportation providers. Keeping everyone informed helps manage expectations and coordinate responses more effectively. Safety First: Ensure the safety of your personnel and cargo. This includes training staff on how to handle severe weather conditions and having contingency plans in place for emergencies. Inventory Management: Adjust inventory levels to account for potential delays. This might involve increasing stock of critical items before expected weather disruptions

Severe weather is a known risk and uncontrollable. What we can control is our reaction to it. Logisticians should have access to high quality weather data to anticipate any challenges. Open communication with all nodes is required to understand the impact and alternatives options. Safety of drivers, workers outside, and those in the path of destructive weather should be prioritized over any business need. Early and honest communication with customers will maintain positive professional relationships.
