The Marine Transportation System (MTS) Guide organizes multiple methodologies and port resilience assessment tools to support resilience planning.
The Guide provides an overview of intended users and uses and discusses the importance of resilience in the maritime domain. It then provides a discussion of key objectives for assessments and a framework and methodology for conducting resilience assessments within the MTS, beginning with issue identification and continuing through to implementation activities.
Finally, the MTS Guide integrates information sources, methodology and experiences into a repeatable, step-by-step framework by supplementing and improving existing processes to conduct resilience assessments and incorporate resilience enhancements into planning and investment activities.
