The growing frequency and complexity of both natural and man- made crises like pandemics have highlighted the need for robust emergency logistics strategies during the last decade. Procurement is one of the critical areas impacting any emergency supply chain. Dealing with disruptions usually involves multi-sourcing, option contracts, and back-up suppliers as resilient strategies. The proposed review classifies emergency procurement strategies into three capacities following the capacity resilience framework: absorptive, adaptive, and restorative. Also, quantitative resilience metrics, modelling methods, and objectives for practical scenarios are discussed. Conclusions are extracted, and future research agendas outlined.
