SUSTAINABLE 3 Disaster Infrastructure Resiliency Plan

Goals of the project: – Understand Massport’s vulnerability to climate impacts – Develop short-term and long-term resiliency strategies

Project approach:

1- Climate projections 2- Vulnerability and risk assessment 3- Adaptation planning & design

Adaptation strategies Consequence of impact

Probability of occurrence

SUSTAINABLE 4 Risk-Based Prioritization of Assets

Probability of Determined based on Inundation Model results Flooding Flooded in more storm scenarios  higher probability, higher priority

Criticality Score X Occupancy Category

Based on role in Based on ASCE/SEI 24-05 disaster Standard for Flood Resistant Consequence preparedness, Design and Construction of Flooding response, recovery Higher consequence  higher priority

Further distinguish among assets with Depth of same Probability and Consequence Flooding Higher depth  higher priority

SUSTAINABLE 5 Flood Scenario Elevations – Fish Pier East

CAT. 2 HURRICANE CAT. 3 HURRICANE (HAT) (MHHW) EST. FLOOD EL. = 17.5’ FLOOD EL. = 19.7’

GROUND FLOOR EL. = 10.0’ SUSTAINABLE 6 Flood Barriers

SUSTAINABLE 7 Elevated Platforms

SUSTAINABLE 8 Annual Training/Test Temporary Flood Barriers

• Temporary Flood Barriers deployed May 2019 • Logan Airport – 4 facilities • Conley Terminal - 2 facilities • Fish Pier – 3 Facilities • Initially deployed in September 2015 Access Stairs

SUSTAINABLE 9 Implemented Operational Plans and Guidelines

Flood Operations Plans: • Specific to Logan and Maritime sites • Identifies detailed actions, timelines and responsible parties • Created through collaborative process with MPA stakeholders • Tabletop exercise to engage functions

Flood-proofing Design Guide: • Design Flood Elevations for construction – Different heights for new & existing facilities • Floodproofing Strategies – Wet & dry floodproofing • Performance standards

SUSTAINABLE 11 Application

1.Facilitate management oversight of flooding or heavy precipitation events impacting Massport infrastructure

2.Inform decision-making during a flood event where Massport flood operations plans may or have been activated;

3.Enable real-time field updates via mobile devices of: i. flood water encroachment ii. barrier and resource deployments iii. equipment status or activity milestones iv. site inspections
