Synthesis of resilience across cases
| Static resilience | Dynamic resilience | |
|---|---|---|
| Transport network | Continued use of truck-on-ferry routes to Sweden/Estonia as a bypass during port strikes (S6, S12) EU Civil Protection Mechanism mobilised cross-border equipment and personnel (F9, F21) | Dredging plans and investments in flood defences for Rhine adaptation (D6, D16, D17) Rerouting from Russia/Belarus to the “Middle Corridor” for China–Europe freight after Ukraine war sanctions (W14, W19) |
| Supply chain | Companies stockpiling raw materials in anticipation of Rhine low water (Evonik, Thyssenkrupp) to ensure continuity (D6, D17) Forestry and paper industries planning production suspensions and stockpiling during strikes to minimise losses and resume quickly (S18, S19) | Multinational firms reconfiguring supply chains after Ukraine war: diversification of sourcing and shortening supply chains (W5, W7, W8) Energy supply chain restructuring in response to Ukraine war, with rapid LNG import build-up replacing Russian gas (W9) |
| Society | Ensuring food security by 80% of food sold being produced domestically and a public discourse about food security (S17) Local preparedness measures (sandbags, temporary dykes) in flood-affected areas (F3, F4, F5) | Policy shifts toward energy diversification and renewables after Ukraine war to reduce future dependency risks (W9) Increased emphasis on public risk communication following floods, with calls for clearer translation of forecasts into actionable guidance (F21) |
