Development of an Economic Framework to Evaluate Resilience in Recovering from Major Port Disruptions
The objective of this proposed study is to develop an operational framework to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive list of relevant resilience options that can help ports and related businesses in the supply-chain recover more rapidly from port disruptions. Extend and adapt a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model developed by the research team, and apply it to quantify the relative contributions of various resilience options in mitigating potential economic impacts from port disruptions. The U.S. Geological Survey Science Application for Risk Reduction (SAFRR) Tsunami Scenario that impacts the major seaports along the California coast will be used as a case study to illustrate how the research team will apply the economic resilience framework to assess the applicability and effectiveness of various economic resilience tactics. The research team will focus on the case analysis of three major ports in California: Port of Los Angeles, Port of Long Beach, and Port of Oakland.
