CONNECTING FOR A RESILIENT AMERICA
Mission
The mission of the Institute is to enhance national resiliency to disasters… by
conducting research leading to innovative tools that empower the homeland security
and emergency management community through education, training, outreach and
operational support.
The Institute seeks to improve the nation’s resiliency by enhancing our understanding
of the interconnections between critical infrastructures that support our private sector
supply chains, our communities, and our way of life.
CONNECTING FOR A RESILIENT AMERICA
Challenges:
Hurricanes Katrina & Rita
•
Public-Private Partnership: Private sector was willing, but no formal support
structure in place
•
Information is rarely shared systematically between all in a disaster
– Private to public information will create situational awareness and allow the
government to better allocate resources
– Public to private information will allow businesses to ensure continuity of
operations and prepare appropriately
•
Coordination between the public and private sectors
– Donations
– Evacuations
– Shelter
CONNECTING FOR A RESILIENT AMERICA
Progress:
Gustav/Ike
•
Mobilized products and services from private sector
• Mobile food kitchens at shelters in North Louisiana ($1.2M in savings,
better service to citizens)
• $23.8 million dollars donations
•
Situational awareness from the private sector
• Wal-Mart shortages of fuel
•
Economic Consequence Assessment
– Reported disruptions to operating capacity of 120 critical assets
CONNECTING FOR A RESILIENT AMERICA
Progress:
State Initiative
To support disaster management in Louisiana by developing an accurate
understanding of economic impacts to critical infrastructures and major
economic drivers, as well as facilitating the coordination of businesses and
volunteer organizations with the public sector through enhanced resource
and information management.
•
Through the Louisiana BEOC, the State of Louisiana will :
– Facilitate communication between public and private sectors

Progress:
Fuel Supply-Demand Model
•
Transportation/Fuel Demand Model
– How much fuel is needed to support an evacuation?
•
Behavioral Social Network Model
– When will people evacuate?
(shadow evacuations?)
– Where are they likely to go?
•
Fuel Supply System Model
– What is the fuel availability at gas stations?
•
Results for Decision Support
– Can we mobilize adequate emergency fuel, if needed?

LA-1/Port Fourchon
• Working with DHS and National Infrastructure Simulation and
Analysis Center (NISAC) to estimate the impact of disruptions to the
port if Hwy 1 was impassable for 90 days
•
National Impact- Overall economic impact of extended outage of the port (direct
impact on crude oil and natural gas)
•
Replacement Cost – Cost to reproduce port capabilities elsewhere in Gulf of
Mexico (to what level can other ports absorb this volume)
