- Synopsis
- Examines the challenges The Home Depot faced in the aftermath of natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Andrew. By providing 40,000-50,000 items sold by knowledgeable associates, The Home Depot became a destination place for customers in need of anything from shovels to a new kitchen sink or supplies to use in recovering from a hurricane or flood. Disasters are thus both a source of disruption to the company's operations and a source of additional demand for its products and services. How, then, should The Home Depot organize itself in advance of disaster events?
