Leadership and Responsibility for Long-Term Hurricane Resilience: Stakeholder Perceptions in the Port of Providence Eric Kretsch Master’s Candidate, Marine Affairs URI Transportation Center Fellow Austin Becker, Ph.D Assistant Professor, Marine Affairs

Overview 1.The Port of Providence: A complex place 2. Hurricane Resilience: Port of Providence – Process and objectives – Interview and Workshop Results 3.Leadership: Importance, functions, and structures 4.Port stakeholder perceptions of leadership responsibility and structures

The port of Providence

Stakeholders: Business, Government, and Others

~30 private businesses 4 Advocacy/Education/Non-profits ~10 government agencies (local, state, federal) 2 Public Utilities (Narragansett Bay Commission, National Grid) Port Stakeholders: Business, Government, and others

Hurricane Resilience: Long-range planning for the port of Providence Pilot program Begin a dialog with port stakeholders – bring people together Develop tools: – Visualization Tools – Decision Tools Discuss resilience strategies and goals – Concepts: Relocate, Accommodate, Protect Report to inform RIDOT and future research.

Process Initial interview – get to know the port Workshop – discuss vulnerability and resilience Follow-up survey – perceptions of leadership Results from initial interview and workshop influenced the development of research on perceptions of leadership.

Initial Interview Results

Workshop Results No long-term plan for major hurricane events No clear “champion” [leader] (gov’t or private) – “someone” should be doing “something” This suggests a gap: Who should be doing something?

The Functions of Leadership Moser & Ekstrom (2010) Stiller & Meijerink (2015)

Leadership structures It is the form an organization of people take to facilitate leadership functions Examples (from academic literature): – Regional [Planning] councils – Planning offices – Port Authorities – Government Agencies – Individuals – Public-Private Collaborations

Workshop/Research suggests: The structure of leadership at the port of Providence is not adequate to support long- term planning Leadership functions are not being completed; inhibiting long-term planning

Research Questions: Who is responsible for leading the port of Providence in long-term resilience planning? What type of leadership structure would be supported in the port of Providence? What would incentivize these structures to be formed? What would incentives leaders to lead?

Stakeholder based approach Reason: – All of these stakeholders can be leaders – Stakeholders choose to support leaders Survey: – Who? What? Follow-up - Ask the “who” – What would motivate leaders?

Expected Outcomes Information to decision-makers and/or future researchers: – How should they form a long-term planning group? Provide methods: – Used in similar communities that lack leadership structures Develop a model that explains possible incentives/motivations of leadership
