Design, Development, Implementation and Operation of CBTS-SGL Data Lake System to Produce Risk Analytics of Supply Chains Impacted by COVID-19 and Other Converging Threats Presentation Recording
To address the public health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other converging Threats on the U.S.- Mexico trade it is critical to support all health supply chain systems for both infrastructure and workforce, and to do it accounting for the inherent cultural regional differences, and considering the current and emerging regional social, economic and environmental risks.

Towards a Risk Index for the U.S.-Mexico Supply Chains - A Synthetic Case Study in U.S.-Mexico Border Land Ports of Entry
The U.S. - Mexico border has a great significance for the movement of people, but also for the commercial trade. Different industries and supply chains, instrumental for the economic activity of both countries, are involved. To assess their state of risk, and manage potential disruptions at the ports, this study presents a proposal for a Risk Index applied to the border ports of entry, and their related U.S.-Mexico supply chains. In this study, we generated indexes based on an innovative Risk Framework as an extension of the CDC Social Vulnerability Index. This Risk framework defines the Risk as a function of the threats, the system vulnerabilities, and the impact on the systems. The different indexes were obtained through a series of socioeconomic and public health system capacity factors from data sources across both countries. The obtained risk index is a powerful tool to analyze binational supply chain vulnerabilities as it directly gives spatial information on the binational state of risk. Additionally, Risk index values, together with the location of ports of entry, can be used to study the effect that the state of vulnerability has on various metrics affecting supply chains.

CBTS-SGL Webinar - The U.S. Census Bureau's Community Resilience Estimates- Dr. Bethany DeSalvo
On March, 2021 the CBTS COE, and the Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory (SGL) organized a webinar with Dr. Bethany DeSalvo from the U.S. Census Bureau as a guest speaker to present the methodology behind the Community Resilience Estimates (CRE). The CRE provide an easily understood metric for how at-risk every neighborhood in the United States is to the impacts of COVID-19. This metric uses granular data to measure the individual and community's ability to respond to the effects of the pandemic. Information from the CRE could be easily utilized by policy makers to inform vaccine distribution, where to provide education on public health standards, and pinpoint areas that are at a greater risk of inequitable incomes.

Evaluación y Administración del Estado de Riesgo de las Cadenas de Suministro por COVID-19 entre México y Estados Unidos: Presentación y Mesa Panel
During this presentation, members of the Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory at Texas A&M University presented their work of two different research projects. The projects, hosted at the Center Of Excellence CBTS are related to the Risk Assessment and Management of supply chains between The U.S. and Mexico. After the presentation, a panel with question from the attendees followed.
