Mission
Connecting for a Resilient America 3
NIMSAT Institute’s Response to Gustav/Ike
• Consequence Models for Critical Infrastructures– Post-disaster analysis of 120 petroleum, natural gas, chemical
and electricity facilities (CITGO Refinery, Entergy, Henry Hub, LOOP, Port Fourchon, etc.)
– Economic impact to Oil & Gas industry: $7.6B - $8.3B
• Public-Private Partnerships– Mobilized private sector supply chains, as needed: $23.8
million– Enhanced Situational Awareness: shortages of fuel
• Decision Support Tools– Recommended closures of PODs & Allocation of generators to
gas stations
Connecting for a Resilient America
Research: Regional CIKR Analysis
• Performing interdependency and supply chain analysis of all CIKR assets across the Gulf of Mexico region
• Analyze consequences resulting from hazards to CIKR in support of homeland security and emergency management (HSEM), across the 18 CIKR sectors
• Collecting asset-level data to be utilized when analyzing consequences
• Work with local, state and regional HSEM to prioritize CIKR based on risk

National/Regional Gasoline Supply Model
Two pipelines: Colonial and Plantation. Shortages in Alabama
Connecting for a Resilient America
Development: Advanced Technologies
• Supercomputing, Visualization and GIS Technologies
• 3D Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis
• Decision Support Tools and Applications
Connecting for a Resilient America
Development: CIKR Economic Impact
• Based on the “Hazard Profile” (storm surge):
• Develop predictive and post-event models that quantify economic impact of disruptions to CIKR
Connecting for a Resilient America
Development:Fuel Demand-Supply
Model
• Based on Hurricane Evacuation Models:– Develop model to predict gasoline demand by
evacuating traffic
– Monitor & Mobilize fuel supply chains

Connecting for a Resilient America
Development: Points of Distribution
• Based on the “Hazard Profile”:
• Determine the need for PODS, optimal locations and phased teardown, based on private sector

LA BEOC Mission
To support disaster management in Louisiana by• developing an accurate understanding of economic impacts
to critical infrastructures and major economic drivers• coordinating businesses and volunteer organizations with the
public sector
Through the Louisiana BEOC, the State of Louisiana will• improve disaster preparedness and response• reduce reliance on FEMA and other federal assistance• maximize business, industry and economic stabilization• return the business environment to normal operations quickly
