The approach of typical business organizations to the problems of business area impact analysis (BAIA) has been fragmented.

Allocating resources to solve safety problems is difficult because multiple attributes of a port or waterway affect its safety and determine whether a particular safety measure will improve it. We based the ports and waterways safety assessment (PAWSA) model on multiattribute decision analysis techniques and local experts' and stakeholders' assessments of safety levels and the effects safety alternatives would have on these levels. The USCG used the PAWSA model to justify funding for four new vessel traffic service centers and to determine new technology requirements for all commercial vessels using US waters. The USCG has adopted it as a permanent part of its safety management tool kit.

COT took this challenge and developed the research project Learning from a large scale flood exercise in the Netherlands. The primary objective of this research project is to enhance knowledge in the Netherlands of strategies to effectively deal with (possible) floods by exchanging knowledge regarding key processes, best practices, and complexities of flood disaster management and identify areas, within this field, that necessitate additional research. Against this background representatives from two US institutions, Disaster Research Center (DRC) at University of Delaware and the Institute for Crisis, Disaster and Risk Managemen...
