The U.S. Coast Guard (Mobile) keeps the Port Authority informed of the formation, path, and threat of a hurricane or tropical storm. Besides the U.S. Coast Guard, the Port Authority will maintain contact with the Harrison County Emergency Management Agency. A Port Emergency Action Team ("PEAT") within the Coast Guard has been established to monitor and set storm conditions for the Port. The Port Authority will use the PEAT for assistance in the implementation of the Port Authority's hurricane procedures. After a hurricane or tropical storm, the Director of Operations or his or her designee shall be responsible for contacting the U.S. Coast Guard to determine when it is safe for the Port to resume normal operations.
