Abstract
Supply chains are a network of intertwined nodes and routes that are normally expected to operate smoothly and allow for seamless movement of material, documentation and information two and fro its entirety. Such large networks spread over a wide area on a global scale are bound to be affected by disruptive factors both natural as well as man-made. Though some amount of research has been done on supply chain disruption, mitigation efforts, risk management, etc. a proper linkage is normally missing. Also very little research has been done on continuity. This paper does a selective literature review of selected papers covering various areas of supply chain disruption management under exogenous shock conditions like natural disasters and solutions and links the recent innovation of drone technology to disaster recovery and mitigation efforts and ensuring supply chain continuity. While commercial drones are under test usage by variety of organizations, this paper also assesses certain selected drone types for their compatibility and future modified usage in disaster recovery and supply chain continuity after natural disasters.
