Real-Time ID & Monitoring of Barges Across Inland Waterways
• The threat…• 800,000 daily shipments of hazardous materials equating to 3.9 billion tons
move across US inland waterways annually
• In 2005, over 40,000 barges carried hazardous materials – that’s over 100 shipments each day
• The problem…• There are various systems that track barges and they are not connected –
interoperable and tracking and reporting requirements are different.
15
Why Track Barges?

1.8 Tons per shipment 90 Tons per shipment 2211 Tons per shipment
Protect the most attractive targets, and avoid the greatest consequences.
16
Protection Against Blast & Impact• The solution
• Develop and field test a prototype system that provides more accurate, uniform, and timely data on hazardous movements by barges, especially Hazardous Cargo
• To enhance DHS capability of detecting potential threats related to dangerous cargo in the US inland river system, preventing and deterring terrorist attacks by early response, and making immediate and appropriate responses to disasters with accurate real-time information at the barge level.

Protecting CommunitiesSERRI - CARRI
• Report: National Science & Technology Subcommittee on Disaster reduction 2008
• 22 Federal Departments & Agencies Identified “6” Grand Challenges
1. Provide hazard and disaster information where and when it is needed 2. Understand the natural processes that produce hazards 3. Develop strategies and technologies to reduce the impact of extreme
events on the built environment and vulnerable ecosystems4. Reduce the vulnerability of infrastructure 5. Develop standardized methods for communities to measure and
assess disaster resilience across multiple hazards - A key step is developing and distributing assessment tools that can be used to set priorities.
6. Promote risk-wise behavior
30
Resilient Communities…Resilient Regions…Resilient Nation.Resilient Communities…Resilient Regions…Resilient Nation.
CARRI is a national resource to assist communities to achieve disaster resilience through strong community networks, regional cooperation, private sector participation, neighborhood initiative, focused research and federal involvement.

• Resilience: a community or region’s capability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from significant multi-hazard threats with minimum damage to public safety and health, the economy, and national security.• Prevents and mitigates cascading failures, often
characteristic of critical infrastructure impacts• Minimizes disruption to life and economies
32
• Establishing a basis for a national program
• Goals
• Understand and Measure Community Resilience
• Develop Community Resilience Processes
• Build a Community Action Resilience Toolbox
• Research
• Recognized Experts
• Interdisciplinary
• Scientific Basis
• Community Partners
• Real-world experience
• Best Practices & Lessons Learned
• Public and Private Sectors
33
• What the community receives
• Identification of critical community dependencies and interdependencies• Resilience tools, practices, networks and technologies• Community-developed resilience plan• Core group of resilience stakeholders, planners, educators to make the results
enduring

• Defining “resilient communities”
• ANTICIPATE problems, opportunities, potentials for surprises• Integrate economic, social, ecological, and political community domains into planning, preparedness, and response• Establish critical mass of cooperative organizations to implement and evaluate local-based initiatives• Use strategic planning to maximize time and energy on maximum benefit areas• Merge social and economic goals
• REDUCE VULNERABILITIES related to development, socio-economic conditions, threats• Build local capacity (disaster response, economic, social)• Address interdependencies, preventing cascading failures characteristic of critical infrastructure impacts• Build redundancy where possible
• RESPOND effectively, fairly and legitimately• Employ strong and efficient systems to minimize loss of life and economic vitality• Mobilize key community sectors and internal assets around priorities• Leverage outset resources against goals
• RECOVER rapidly, safely, and fairly• Focus on areas that yield the greatest overall benefits• Adapt and evolve while maintaining integrity of community character and goals

“Normally it is left up to us first responders to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. We can only do so much; it has to be a community effort, both government and the private sector.
We didn't build our cities by government alone, and when something BIG happens, government will never be able to do it alone.”

Devastating effects of natural disasters
HUGO: Destroyed 11% of homes in Charleston area,
severely damaged 32% more
ANDREW: Destroyed or severely damaged > 100,000 homes in FL
KATRINA: Destroyed 350,000 homes, damaged nearly 500,000 more; millions of pounds of contaminants (e.g., arsenic) released
CHARLESTON EARTHQUAKE (1886): Caused damage equivalent to 25% of value of all structures in city
42
Goal
This home was completely under water due to Katrina. Two years later the homeowner was still living in the
FEMA trailer.
Rebuilding after a natural disaster takes ~ 8 years.
BUT, many homeowners don’t have resources to wait.
RESULT: the community is crippled.
SHORT-TERM: make existing home habitable; speed assessment to get resources to homeowner.
LONG-TERM: rebuild more robustly.
Speed community recovery by slashing the timeframe for rebuilding, and getting the homeowner back into
the home as soon as possible.
