KAG'S HURRICANE RESPONSE KEEPS SUPPLY CHAINS MOVING
Background
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30—and when a storm strikes, recovery hinges on preparation. For KAG, preparation begins well before a storm makes landfall. By securing dedicated capacity and strategically staging assets in advance, KAG helps ensure its customers experience minimal disruption. In times of crisis, businesses with guaranteed logistics support are prioritized—providing a critical advantage when supply is limited and every hour counts.
Challenge
A major hurricane threatened fuel supply chains across several southern states. Businesses without guaranteed transport were left scrambling to restore operations. KAG’s customers, however, had the advantage of dedicated service and pre-positioned resources, giving them access to product and peace of mind.
Response Timeline
Preparation
Before landfall, KAG initiated its emergency protocols:
• Reviewed internal emergency response & continuity plans
• Communicated readiness expectations with all customers
• Deployed up to 60 emergency response drivers from across the U.S.
• Staged fully loaded vehicles strategically near key supply points
• Secured property and established alternate routing and journey management plans in the event of infrastructure damage
During the Storm
KAG maintained proactive and transparent communication:
• Issued 3x daily updates to customers and suppliers
• Prioritized deliveries to critical locations (e.g., essential retail stores)
• Actively coordinated with fuel terminals and supply racks to monitor product availability
Recovery Phase
As the storm subsided, KAG pivoted immediately to recovery efforts:
• Assigned each customer a central point of contact to coordinate resupply
• Maintained 3x daily updates on operations status
• Worked closely with state and local authorities to accelerate recovery timelines
