• Abstract:
  This summary report outlines a Request for Information (RFI) in the Federal Register, submitted by the CMTS, seeking information from public and private stakeholders regarding what types of tools --planning guidance, documents, datasets, and federal funding opportunities -- are being utilized in port resilience planning for changing physical and environmental conditions. The goal was to quantify the current state of port resilience planning so that CMTS member agencies could better assess what steps to take to close information gaps and address challenges to port resilience. Responses included the importance and need of sea-level predictions, heat indexes, more localized datasets, grant application extensions, and additional outreach on governmental planning documents. This summary also includes potential action items the CMTS RIAT may take to address these stakeholder needs.
