Obama Inks New U.S. Global Supply Chain Law

Americans can sleep a little better thanks to a new initiative signed into law that would protect the U.S. global supply chain should terrorists or natural disasters destroy or disrupt the flow of fundamentals into our country.

For companies in the third party logistics industry, having a disaster recovery plan is essential to the survival of your business and your clients’ business. Surprisingly, it dawned on lawmakers ten years post 9/11, and over six years post Hurricane Katrina to protect our supply chain.

Even Waffle House understands the importance of not interrupting hungry soles from enjoying hash browns and fried eggs-Waffle House’s disaster recovery plan is anything but scattered or smothered.

It’s not just the scare of being cut off from needed fundamentals. You may recall al-Qaeda’s 2010 plot involving sending printer cartridges aboard U.S. cargo planes. The new legislation looks to protect goods such as food, fuel and essentials by coordinating these efforts with government agencies.
