3 We are talking Resumption, not Recovery Focus is on returning to the New Normal It is about looking not only at the Port but the relationships with the Supply Chains, Transportation systems, Communities, State and Federal Agencies. Source: Port Resumption & Resiliency Model

5 Facts from other Disasters Hurricane Sandy Port of NYNJ lost 1/3 of their capacity- terminal equipment, no electricity, limited fuel, most terminals sustained some damage Because it was primarily surge damage, the Port was able to open within a week, but with bandages. It has already been 15 months, and it is estimated it will take another 2-3 years to return to pre-event status.

9 Port of New Orleans- Katrina It has been 9 years, they anticipate it will take at least 10 years to fully recover Day 60: many employees were able to return to work because Port offered short term housing for employees and their families FEMA brought in Cruise Ship to hotel first responders and Port employees MARAD brought in RAPID deploy ship to provide dock workers and truckers with a place to bath and sleep.
