Actionable Information - Research Briefs - 2 - U.S. and Mexico COVID-19 Dashboards

Includes both static PDF version and the dynamic web version.States in the U.S. have produced COVID-19 dashboards to communicate the status of the pandemic to the population. This research brief presents a summary of the available dashboards for the U.S. and Mexico states. Additionally a map of the U.S. is presented with the total number of variables that are reported in the state dashboard(s)

Actionable Information - Research Briefs - 3 - Analysis on U.S. States COVID-19 Dashboards

Includes both static PDF version and the dynamic web version.Covid-19 dashboards developed by state authorities in the U.S. present different variables to communicate the status and evolution of the pandemic in their territories. This research brief summarizes the different platforms used to develop the dashboards. Also, the brief includes an analysis on the dashboard contents in terms of total number of variables, type of variables, number of variables per risk component (i.e. Threats, Vulnerable Systems, Impacts, States of Risk, Mitigating Strategies). Finally, the number of variables per risk component are compared to COVID-19 metrics such as daily cases, and daily deaths (per 100K population) in order to identify how the risk communication in the dashboards impact the management of the pandemic

Actionable Information - Research Briefs - 5 - Summary and Assessment of Weather Information Services

Includes both static PDF version and the dynamic web version.This research brief includes a summary of various weather information services, detailing the procedures followed to obtain and generate data, and a breakdown of the information provided. Based on this information, the services were qualitatively assessed to determine the most fitting one (s) in the production of risk analytics for supply chains impacted by natural Threat

Actionable Information - Research Briefs - 4 - Literature Review on the Impact of Natural Threats on Supply Chains

Includes both static PDF version and the dynamic web version.A literature review was conducted in order to identify the most impactful effects of natural hazards on the operation of supply chains. The review considered the body of research produced about this topic including the distribution of scientific documents produced by year, and the number of mentions of different natural threats in them

R7 - Internal Report on Risk Assessment & Management Model Development V0.0

Internal report on the development steps for a Risk Assessment and Management model using Bayesian Networks. The objectives of the model include: mapping qualitatively participating processes needed to simulate prognosis and diagnosis scenarios of social, economic and environmental impacts posed by COVID19 on the U.S. trade supply chain infrastructure. To address the public health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S.- Mexico health supply chain systems for health infrastructure and for the health of the workforce, considering current and emerging regional social, economic and environmental Risks. To generate risk-mitigating strategies based on resiliency and sustainability supported by evidence collection and the associate risk assessment model, to address causes and effects posed by COVID19 on the U.S. trade supply chain infrastructure, U.S.- Mexico health supply chain systems for health infrastructure, and for health of the workforce between U.S. - Mexico

R13 - U.S.-Mexico Taskforce to Support the Health Supply Chain Systems for Infrastructure and Workforce Threatened by the COVID19 Pandemic

The project's milestones include the integration of a triple-helix Binational Taskforce, production of spatio-temporal near real-time analytics following a risk systems approach, and publication of a monthly U.S.-Mexico COVID-19 Risk bulletin

Actionable Information - Research Briefs - Vaccination

Includes both static PDF version and the dynamic web version.Five research problems to identify evidence sources and provide initial validation of the risk framework model and data lake have been identified. We focused on COVID-19 Vaccination in the United States and Mexico as the predominant mitigating action. In addition to reliable sources of information, we've identified preordered vaccine supply, its main supply chain elements, and the critical facilities involved in the manufacturing and distribution of millions of doses. In this document we present an initial assessment and findings for this mitigating action

COVID-19 Vaccination Supply Chains

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted supply chains in the United States; the objective of this poster is to provide relevant information to key stakeholders in academia, government, and the general public by providing evidence-based predictive models and risk analytics on the causes and effects posed by COVID-19, on the U.S. trade supply chain infrastructure. The identification and characterization of evidence depicting the dynamics of infrastructure interactions of U.S. domestic and international trade supply chains, from procurement, manufacturing, warehousing, to transportation processes, are expected to derive inferences from public sources of information, and databases following a common risk framework developed by our research group at Texas A&M University

Model Development for Bayesian Risk Assessment and Management of Supply Chains Impacted by COVID-19 and Other Converging Threats

COVID-19 has generated disruptions on supply chains across the world with impacts reflected in shortage, or delay of supplies, accompanied by strong shifts of demand for several economic sectors. Under such a disruption, the challenge is to address the social, environmental, and economic impacts on U.S. Supply Chain infrastructure, and identify critical nodes and processes in order to protect and restore the supply chains for an uninterrupted flow of supplies and materials critical to Homeland Security

U.S.-Mexico Risk Taskforce to Support the Health Supply Chain Systems for Infrastructure and Workforce Threatened by the COViD19 Pandemic

The purpose of this project was to integrate a binational Taskforce from Mexico and the U.S. that could serve as an advisory group to guide the identification and characterization of key variables and processes addressing the impact of COVID-19 in the state of risk of supply chains of critical value for trade between Mexico and the U.S. This project aimed as well as providing the best technology integrator to assimilate evidence that could facilitate the production of risk-based analytics to better inform stakeholders about the likely implementation of risk mitigating strategies that secure the optimal operation of supply chain systems involving trade between both countries. It aimed as well to produce a risk information system that would produce periodical information about the state of risk of Mexico and U.S. supply chain
