The Pittsburgh Regional Coalition for Homeland Security?s Executive Director, Kelly Barcic, will be a guest speaker at the Joint Conference of Harbor Safety Committees and Area Maritime Security Committees

America?s Maritime Infrastructure: Investing for Safety, Security, and Prosperity

TRB is cosponsoring this event with the Waterways Association of Pittsburgh.? The conference will focus on best practices of Harbor Safety Committees (HSCs) and Area Maritime Security Committees (AMSCs) as well as new ideas and technology to address critical safety and security issues.

HSCs are local coordinating bodies throughout the country that work with the U.S. Coast Guard to address issues relating to the safety, security, mobility, and environmental protection of a port or waterway. Membership is typically comprised of local representatives of government agencies, maritime labor and industry organizations, and public interest groups. ?
?
AMSCs bring together representatives from a variety of sources in the port to assess security risks to the port and determine appropriate risk mitigation strategies. AMSC members may include U.S. Coast Guard personnel; federal, state, and local law enforcement and emergency response personnel; facility and vessel owners and operators; and labor.
