Boston Autoport Makes Important ContribuAons to the Regional Economy and Supports Blue Collar Jobs
• 70,000 cars imported/exported through Boston Autoport
• $15 million investment in new warehouse space nearly completed
• 80-‐acre auto import, export, processing and distribuAon facility in addiAon to salt terminal, passenger vessel maintenance and various port support acAviAes
• ~525 permanent and 125 seasonal/part-‐Ame jobs associated with site operaAons
Consequences of extreme flooding
• Airports – Logan Airport prolonged closure – regional/naAonal, int’l
transportaAon/economic impacts – Passenger, business, criAcal goods, and commerce disrupAon – Lack of ability to serve area-‐wide storm recovery efforts
• MariEme – Major facility and equipment loss leading to long term closure – Loss of cruise & container business
• Real Estate – Financial risks associated with tenant disrupAons/recovery – DisrupAons to local/regional transportaAon system
• Agency-‐wide – Loss of human resources – Greater recovery cost
Drivers for AcAon
Damage
• Solar panels destroyed • Terminals flooded
• Standards and signs blown over
• Vehicles destroyed • Roofing membranes peeled off
“Resiliency is the ability of a system to withstand a major disrup8on within acceptable degrada8on parameters, recover within an acceptable 8me, and balance composite costs and risks.”
• How to protect Massport faciliAes against long-‐term sea-‐level rise, storm surges, intense storm events, other unplanned events and threats?
• How to maintain and restore operaAonal capabiliAes during and aber disrupAve events?
• How to implement a balanced composite cost and risk plan?

• Pursues two complementary objecAves: – Making the resilience plan and its principles part of business strategy and operaAons everywhere;
and
– FacilitaAng cooperaAon among internal staff – External stakeholders promoAng partnership &collecAve acAon.
Program Manager of Resiliency
• Become an innovaAve and naAonal model for resiliency planning and implementaAon within the port authority.
• Take responsibility for improving our overall infrastructure and operaAonal resilience.
• Increase our business value and (contextual community responsibiliAes) through improved resiliency.
• Engage our stakeholders to bener understand and address their concerns.
• Incorporate resilient design and construcAon pracAces in the development of our airports, mariAme systems, and real estate.
• Monitor, measure, and adapt/modify our progress.
Resiliency Program Goals
• IdenAficaAon – Threat event – Threat level – Impacted faciliAes – Effect of impact – CriAcal faciliAes needing protecAon
• Devise a Plan – Avoid, minimize, recover – Short term – Long term

Who is responsible for flood monitoring?
How soon do we acAvate?
Who is the “decider”?
When do we noAfy contractors?
Where do we operate from during the event?
Where is the safest place to shelter people?
Where is safest place to move vehicles?
Do essenAal employees live in impacted areas?
