The DisruptSC model assesses the indirect economic impacts of disasters by explicitly quantifying the disturbances on supply chains. It simulates, in space and time, how transport infrastructure disruptions perturb the flows of goods in supply chains and how these perturbations affect households, firms, and trade.

DisruptSC is a spatial agent-based model for simulating supply chain disruptions. It models economic agents (firms, households, countries) connected through transport networks and supply chains to analyze the impact of disruptions on economic systems.
