FY14 RDT&E Project Portfolio - USCG - U.S. Coast Guard

Evaluate Risk Associated with Port/Waterway Closures
Mission Need: A methodology to evaluate the risk of port/waterway closures and the economic impacts they
may cause based on their duration.
Project Objectives:
• In collaboration with the Center for Risk and Economic Assessment of
Terrorism Events (CREATE) and Other Government Agencies (OGA),
develop a defensible and repeatable methodology to evaluate the risk of
port/waterway closures that can be applied to any port in the U.S., whether
inland or coastal.
• Assess the local, regional and national economic impacts of port/waterway
closures based on the duration of the shutdown.
• Recommend marine safety safeguards that can mitigate the consequences of
port/waterway closures.
