Supply chain may face large or small risks due to natural or man-made events. When the weak part(s) of a supply chain was hit by the event, the risk comes. The consequence may be large or small and duration period may be short or long. The goal of this paper is to understand the sources of risks, to prepare supply chains for the risk, and to implement mitigation methods to respond to the risk.
