Supply Chain & Logistics News (October 28th – 31st)
Now let’s get to the Supply & Logistics News for the week:
Eastern Spain witnessed monstrous flash flooding for the first time in over a decade. This past week, areas such as Valencia Spain saw a year’s worth of rain in under 24 hours. The relentless rain triggered massive flash flooding, killing at least 158 and with an unknown amount of people still unaccounted for. Rains and flooding are not uncommon during the autumn months but these floods were the worst they have seen in recent years. The flooding has cut off entire villages from power, trapping them due to highway closures, and ruining farms in regions popular for agriculture exportation. Currently, Valencia residents still do not have running water and 75,000 of the original 150,000 do not have electricity. Scientists link these events to climate change, which is also behind the increasingly high temperatures and droughts in Spain.
