Port Resilience Index

Developer/Partners: NOAA, Gulf of Mexico Alliance (2016)

Relevant Hazard/Threat(s): All hazards

Intent: Self-assessment tool developed for Port and marine industry leaders that serves as a simple and inexpensive method of assessing if Ports and the regional marine transportation sector are prepared to maintain operations during and after disasters.

PRI is an initial step in analyzing port resilience; targeted to Port Authority or port management organization.  It provides a set of resilience indicators presented as Yes/No questions about existing port facility conditions and operations. Basic resilience "score" computed at the end of analysis.

Inputs: Stakeholders; Port Authority / Port Management Organization
Outputs: Resilience rating based on yes / no answers; plan for 3, 6, and 12 month actions.
