Assessment of Port, Terminal and Navigation Impacts Resulting from the 1993 UpperMississippi River Flood. March 1997

摘要

The primary objective of the study was to assess the impact of the 1993 flood onthe port and terminal facilities located along the closed waterways, to identify navigation impacts, and to determine the extent of infrastructure damage to transportation facilities that provide access to these ports and terminals. An additional objective was to analyze the responses of port and terminal operators to the 1995 flood and compare them to the 'lessons learned' from the '93 event.
