"Freight transportation company triage playbooks have been evolving with a series of disasters, including Hurricane Katrina.
By the time Sandy hit, trucking and logistics companies had topped off gas tanks, bought or rented back-up generators to power distribution and fueling centers, and shipped relief and manufacturing supplies to the Northeast that customers would need after the storm. During the storm and in the days after, these companies and East Coast railroads diverted shipments away from the hardest-hit areas and found alternative delivery options for customers"This is good news as we know these disasters will not only increase with frequency but also with severity and the fact the industry is preparing for them is a great service to the US.
On Veterans day, we thank all the veterans who have served this Nation. I would also say if companies are preparing to work in disaster stricken areas there is no better person to lead these efforts than a veteran.
