Smith Experts Assess Drug Manufacturing Risk from Natural Hazards

A July tornado that tore across the Rocky Mount, N.C., region left severe damage including to a Pfizer facility. Amid subsequent supply chain disruption, the manufacturer alerted hospitals to a list of 12 drugs available only through emergency orders “due to their high medical need,” effective “immediately and until further notice.” The disruption further prompted action from risk management expert Clifford Rossi and students in the Master of Quantitative Finance (MQF) program at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business.

In this webinar, our three expert panelists will discuss some of the recent extraordinary weather events around the US from Maui's wildfires, drought in the western US, severe weather in the southeast to flooding in the northeast. NOAA's Chief Scientist, Dr. Sarah Kapnick, along with Professor Tim Canty from the University of Maryland's Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Dept. and Dr. Bob Brammer, SERC Executive Risk Fellow will provide insights on what's driving these extreme events and how we should be thinking about their relationship to long-term climate change.
