Hurricane Milton: Supply Chain impact by the numbers

Oct 07, 2024

On the heels of Hurricane Helene, Florida is bracing for the rapidly intensifying Hurricane Milton expected to bring more flooding and power outages, halting oil operations, forcing mandatory evacuations, restricting ports, and disrupting air traffic. Experts are taking a closer look at the potential business impact on Florida's supply chains. According to exclusive data from the experts at the leading global supply chain mapping and monitoring solution, Resilinc (used by GM, Micron, American Red Cross, Johnson & Johnson, IBM, and others), Hurricane Milton will have a significant impact on a variety of industries statewide including aerospace & defense, life sciences, general manufacturing, oil & gas, freight, high-tech, and more.

Impacts include:

  • 12,410 sites
  • Sites responsible for activities like manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, fabrication, and testing.
  • Over 97,000 different parts at risk for products we use every day
  • The manufacturing of nearly 11,000 products

Feel free to use any of this data in your reporting. I'm happy to answer any additional questions you may have or arrange for an interview with Resilinc CEO, Bindiya Vakil, about the supply chain impact and the impending ripple effect the hurricane will cause.
