Finding F6.2
To maintain and strengthen their ability to respond to emergencies, port and harbor authorities consistently enhance operations, environmental standards, safety protocols, and infrastructure. This ongoing commitment is especially important given the possibility of encountering multiple disasters at once. New threats may emerge. Key elements of this process include routine risk assessment, updated and comprehensive training for all personnel, and investment in advanced technologies. Maintaining resilience depends on this cycle of evaluation and proactive enhancement to stay ahead of emerging threats.
