Semper Paratus Presentation Waypoints Understanding USCG District/Sector Structure and AORs Initial Response Scenario Specific Concerns SLMR/SOHV Recovery (Overview) Marine Transportation System Recovery Unit (MTSRU) Common Assessment Reporting Tool (CART) Event Recovery Scene Specific Concerns SLMR/SOHV Questions and Discussion

Semper Paratus USCG District Eight

Semper Paratus Sector Lower MS River

Semper Paratus Sector Ohio Valley

Semper Paratus Sector Upper MS River

Semper Paratus Initial Response Bridge Failures in Memphis Initial response starts locally MFD, MPD, Shelby County SO, West Memphis FD, Desoto County, ext.. State assets (TN and AR) Sector (SLMR) assets (USCG) Scenario Specific Concerns Large event impacting wide geographic area Multiple disaster scenes competing for resources Expect vessel/facility incidents (port/non-port, pollution, navigation hazards) Loss of resources and ability to get them to the scene Wide scale communications failure Loss of SLMR command structure (Implement COOP)

Semper Paratus Initial Response Barkley Lock and Dam Initial response starts locally Local USACE resources (assessment) MSU Paducah (small boats) (command post) Local city, county, and state resources At least three vessels possibly available Possible use of county mobile command center Scenario Specific Concerns Fleet breakaways Other associated incidents (pollution)

Semper Paratus USCG - Lead Federal Agency for MTS - facilitator of recovery Coordination with stakeholders is critical USACE retains responsibility for clearing channel Goal: Resumption of commerce Key elements of the MTS recovery process MTS Stabilization Short-term (<90 days): MTS operations available at some level Focus: waterways, navigation systems, ports, critical infrastructure, and monitoring systems Long-term (>90 days): MTS to pre-incident operation Process implemented, via ICS, using a UC and/or UAC MTSRU is vital element within the UC/UAC Marine Transportation System Recovery

Semper Paratus Marine Transportation System Recovery Unit (MTSRU) MTSRU Roles and Responsibilities Track, document and report MTS status in CART* CART data supports Situation Unit Understand critical recovery pathways Develop and recommend COAs Supports Planning Section Chief in developing IAP Includes salvage, dredging, cleanup, recovery of ATON recommendations Input point for MTS stakeholders Crucial in feeding CART Develop/recommend priorities for cargo flow/resumption of vessel movement Identify long-term recovery issues and needs MTSRU is not responsible for determining economic impact

Semper Paratus Common Assessment Reporting Tool (CART) Primary means of reporting impacts to/recovery of MTS Automated reports support higher HQ reporting requirements Essential Elements of Information (EEI) Five categories of EEIs Waterways and Navigation – ATON/Channels Port Area Critical Infrastructure – Facilities/Bridges Port Area Vessels – SPV/CFV/Ferries/Gaming Monitoring Systems – R21/PORTS/NOAA Offshore Energy – Production Platforms

Semper Paratus Common Assessment Reporting Tool (CART) Waterways and Navigation Systems – Aids to Navigation – Deep Draft Channels – Non-Deep Draft Channels – Locks – Vessel Salvage/Wreck Removal – Oil Pollution Incidents – Hazardous Materials Incidents Port Area - Critical Infrastructure – Barge Fleeting Areas – Bridges – Bulk Liquid Facilities – Containerized Cargo Facilities – Non-Container Cargo Facilities – Passenger Vessel and Ferry Terminals – Ports – Shipyards – USCG Unit Port Area - Vessels –Barge Traffic –Commercial Fishing Vessels –Gaming Vessels –High Capacity Passenger Vessels and Ferries –Small Passenger Vessels Offshore Energy –Offshore Platforms –Offshore Production –Offshore Renewable Energy Installations –Mobile Offshore Drilling Units Monitoring Systems –Monitoring Systems

Semper Paratus Event Recovery (Expectations) UAC with supporting multiple UCs (FEMA leads UAC) USCG/USACE lead MTS specific UCs USCG IMTs, MSST, Strike Force support to SLMR/SOHV USACE specialized and technical support outside District/Divisions MTSRU integrated within UCs MTSRU elements could be incorporated in a UAC Priorities (Notional) MTS Assessment (Includes supporting critical infrastructure) Mitigation (pollution) Salvage (Clear waterway) ATONs Support recovery of associated MTS

Semper Paratus Scene Specific Recovery Concerns Memphis Support (Resources) for operations extremely limited Support (Staging) from a distance UAC priorities may divert what resources are available RPs overwhelmed Outside influence on prioritization Supporting port infrastructure availability Physical impacts on facilities/vessels as well as reduction in available workforce Barkley Lock and Dam Flooding along the Cumberland Rapid Rise of Ohio
