Widespread Some Commodities 9 China Factory Labor Shortages: What to expect Current 78% Companies in China report that there is not enough staff to resume work 3%-7% Workers able to return to work in affected areas 25% Businesses operating normally in Central Sichuan province 6-Month Outlook: • Workers not paid by employers during shutdown (or partially paid) will leave • Some workers permanently displaced – will find better paying jobs at larger companies • Some jobs will be lost to layoffs • Larger, cash rich companies will be able to secure workers by paying premiums • Smaller companies will struggle to fill positions and restart operations Workforce disruptions expected to continue well into next two quarters © 2020 Resilinc Corporation. All rights reserved. 10 Logistics Companies: A Mixed Outlook Near term risks: 6-month outlook for shippers: • Drop in ocean freight traffic Lost revenue • Transfer of shipments to air freight for expediting shipments • Inability to secure staff to resume • Near term low fuel costs will help offset loading/unloading and processing some shipping costs, but expected to rise operations inability to take advantage of through recovery near-term opportunities • Demand for higher capacity in coming • Current reduced pricing could get locked months on key lanes could cause into long term contracts some shipping companies to reduce capacity on less lines could experience financial distress profitable lanes • Logistics pricing expected to be volatile in the medium term to fuel recovery • Capacity constraints expected on all modes once recovery resumes © 2020 Resilinc Corporation.

Coronavirus has not caused physical damage to property, so financial losses would generally not be covered. • Trade disruption insurance (TDI) covers loss of earnings, unforeseen costs and contractual penalties that result from disrupted trade flows. • Generally TDI does not require that there be a direct physical loss to goods or their conveyances. • Could provide some level of protection to companies Source: https://www.willistowerswatson.com/en-US/Insights/2020/02/would-insurance-policies-cover-losses-related-to-coronavirus © 2020 Resilinc Corporation. All rights reserved. 12 Small Company Financial Distress Risk is Very High Current situation: • Fall in demand – some lost forever (e.g. closed restaurants, canceled trade shows, public gatherings, travel plans etc.) • Companies that can supply parts have found customer factories are shut down and cannot receive shipments, therefore, cannot collect payment • Cash remains tied up in FG, collections at standstill, payments continue to pile up. 65% of small companies in China have 2 months of cash What we recommend: • Invest in robust supplier financial monitoring (focus on private companies) • Calculate revenue impact of a supplier • Establish an emergency fund to prop up weak supplier with high revenue impact • Set aside budget to secure life-time buy inventory where supplier failure is highly likely • Don’t just monitor China based suppliers – all small companies are potentially at risk because of the evolving outbreak and interconnected supply chain © 2020 Resilinc Corporation.

External Editor: Hwa-Lung Yu Received: 20 July 2014; in revised form: 31 October 2014 / Accepted: 26 November 2014 / Published: 1 December 2014 Abstract: Hubei Province is the hub of communications in central China, which directly determines its strategic position in the country’s development. Additionally, Hubei Province is well-known for its diverse landforms, including mountains, hills, mounds and plains. This area is called “The Province of Thousand Lakes” due to the abundance of water resources. Geographical names are exclusive names given to physical or anthropogenic geographic entities at specific spatial locations and are important signs by which humans understand natural and human activities. In this study, geographic information systems (GIS) technology is adopted to establish a geodatabase of geographical names with particular characteristics in Hubei Province and extract certain geomorphologic and environmental factors.

  • Impacts of Human Activities on the Flow Regime of the Yangtze River
    266 Changes in Water Resources Systems: Methodologies to Maintain Water Security and Ensure Integrated Management (Proceedings of Symposium HS3006 at IUGG2007, Perugia, July 2007). IAHS Publ. 315, 2007. Impacts of human activities on the flow regime of the Yangtze River QIONGFANG LI, ZHENHUA ZOU, ZIQIANG XIA, JIN GUO & YI LIU State Key Laboratory of Hydrology, Water Resources and Hydraulic Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing 210098, China [email protected] Abstract The Yangtze River (Changjiang) is one of the most important rivers in the world, and the alterations in its hydrological regime have global-scale impacts. However, with population increase and economic growth, the flow regime of the Yangtze River has been altered to some extent by human activities, including dam construction, soil and water conservation, etc. The alteration in the flow regime of the Yangtze River will unavoidably influence its morphology and geomorphology, delta evolution and ecosystem health and stability. To assess dam-induced alterations in the flow regime of the Yangtze River quantitatively, this paper selected the Danjiangkou reservoir, the Gezhouba reservoir and the Three Gorges reservoir as case study sites, and the whole study period was divided into 4 sub-periods by the years when these three reservoirs started to store water, respectively. On the basis of the time series of daily flow discharge from six key hydrological stations (i.e. Wanxian, Yichang, Hankou, Datong, Baihe and Xiantao stations), the alterations in annual, seasonal, and monthly runoff in different sub-periods and the driving forces were explored. The output of this paper could provide reference for the assessment of impacts of human activities on the health and stability of the Yangtze River ecosystem.

The strain remains a mystery, its symptoms deceptively similar to common cold and there are no curative or preventive vaccine or medicine. What's certain is that the virus is highly contagious. In just 45 days, it has killed over 1,000 people in China and infected more than 40,000 in 27 countries. Worryingly, we have not yet seen the peak of the spread.

  • Are China's Water Resources for Agriculture Sustainable? Evidence from Hubei Province
    sustainability Article Are China’s Water Resources for Agriculture Sustainable? Evidence from Hubei Province Hao Jin and Shuai Huang * School of Public Economics and Administration, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Shanghai 200433, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-21-65903686 Abstract: We assessed the sustainability of agricultural water resources in Hubei Province, a typical agricultural province in central China, for a decade (2008–2018). Since traditional evaluation models often consider only the distance between the evaluation point and the positive or negative ideal solution, we introduce gray correlation analysis and construct a new sustainability evaluation model. Our research results show that only one city had excellent sustainable development capacity of agricultural water resources, and the evaluation value of eight cities fluctuated by around 0.5 (the median of the evaluation result), while the sustainable development capacity of agricultural water resources in other cities was relatively poor. Our findings not only reflect the differences in the natural conditions of water resources among various cities in Hubei, but also the impact of the cities’ policies to ensure efficient agricultural water use for sustainable development. The indicators and methods Citation: Jin, H.; Huang, S. Are in this research are not difficult to obtain in most countries and regions of the world. Therefore, the China’s Water Resources for indicator system we have established by this research could be used to study the sustainability of Agriculture Sustainable?
