Measurement Definitions | |
| Recovery: Percent of Bulk Liquid Facilities Operating The recovery measure is the percent of facilities in the storm affected area that are in compliance with federal regulations to the satisfaction of the Coast Guard Captain of the Port and are operational at some capacity – from low level up to and including 100% of their pre-storm capability. Restoration: Percent of Bulk Liquid Facilities Capable of Operating at Pre-Storm Levels. The restoration measure is the percent of facilities in the storm affected area that are in compliance with federal regulations to the satisfaction of the Coast Guard Captain of the Port and have the capability to operate at 100% pre-storm levels. | |
| Amplifying Information | |
The capability to operate at 100% does not mean the facility is operating at 100% - for instance, maybe the facility has repaired all damage, is in compliance with all federal regulations, but lacks the business that it once did. In this case, although they may not be moving the same level of cargo as before, they are still capable of doing so | |
