This paper concisely explores risk management of logistics systems in several critical areas, namely disruption risk management, operational risk control, disaster and emergency management, and logistics service risk analysis. The papers featured in the special issue are also introduced and examined. This paper ends with a proposal of various future research directions for advancing risk management of logistics systems.
