| Port of Rotterdam: Maeslantkering has closed twice due to actual storm surge events. The barrier closes automatically when there is a extreme weather event that will cause major flooding.. Rotterdam is always ready for storm surge. Maeslantkering was a strategic investment to protect several economies in the region.

The Need to Protect New York -New Jersey with a Storm Surge Barrier - The Proposal. It works in the Netherlands. Review. Rotterdam has the edge in storm surge protection. Rotterdam is critical to Europe and the economies of several nations. |
KEY: Chart/Stats: view the numbers and the regions critical importance to the Nation. By the numbers. Rotterdam is critical to Europe. NY-NJ largest Port on the East Coast. Main link to Europe. Economic goods shipped to Europe. What other options are there - that can handle this amount tonnage in shipping on the East Coast? Critical to the national economy. |
Consider these 5 items:
1. Population Size - Metro Area
2. Size Economic GDP -Metro Area.
3. Overall Rank in Traffic Congestion - Metro Area.
4. Shipping and tonnage size Metro area.
5. Past Weather Events - Storm surge.
|
|
1. Population Size - Elderly Population Size - Disabled Population Size
|
|
2. Traffic Congestion - Infrastructure - Evacuation Routes. Shelters
|
|
3. The Economic Size of the area. How it serves as Engine to the Nation(Gross Domestic Product) (GDP) Goods and Services. If this economy is crippled by severe weather how much does it impact the Nation?
|
|
4. Shipping Process - size in tonnage. If the Shipping Process is crippled by severe weather - how much does it impact the Nation. What are the options? Alternate shipping options to/from Europe.
|
|
5. Past Severe Weather Events (total major storms) Major storm surge flooding and past events.

Weight and value of the subject area are critical in emergency management and severe weather events. The total weight in value will differ depending on the emphasis of the specific subject areas during the emergency management process. Some areas have greater value in the emergency management process.
