Abstract
Ports are important nodal points that stimulate the US economy. This is particularly true of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (POLA/LB). Over 40% of all containers shipped to and out of the US flow through this two-port complex. The POLA/LB along with other port complexes face many challenges — including maximizing operational efficiency while simultaneously minimizing risk from catastrophes, including terrorism and other man-made or natural disaster events and minimizing environmental impacts. Often these challenges are at odds with one another — increasing one often comes at the expense of achieving the other. The DHS-funded Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events (CREATE) is developing a port security risk management and resource allocation system (PortSec). PortSec will support both tactical day-to-day security decision-making and long-term strategic security planning. An initial PortSec prototype (1.0) that supports tactical day-to-day risk assessment and resource allocation is currently undergoing evaluation at POLA/LB.
