The Marine Transportation System (MTS) Resilience Assessment Guide presents a process for organizing and understanding the complicated systems that comprise the MTS. The Guide introduces a framework for structuring a resilience assessment and assembles a variety of resources that make an assessment possible based on the goals of the Guide user. It also provides advice for assembling a diverse group of public and private stakeholders and agencies that manage these systems; a critical step in ensuring that an assessment is more than a report on a shelf.
