Resilience for the port of LA transportation resilience. ERDC is establishing a new Scientific Focus Area (SFA) on Disaster Response and Resilience. Disasters, both natural and man-made, can cause disruptions to infrastructure and strategic networks. This research will support different aspects of the proposed SFA. Further, it will recommend strategies for future responses to disruptions as well as planning initiatives that are poised to enable easier and faster recovery in the future. Expanding the analytical methodologies for network resilience to enable better planning for system management before a disruption, as it is occurring, and in the immediate aftermath. This improved system resilience will decrease the time that a system cannot provide its critical function according to its purpose in broader society.
