N2 - Zeroth Responders are defined as the individuals who respond spontaneously prior to a coordinated response group. Their influence in both natural and man-made disaster response has been drawing attention to an increasing number of governmental, private and communities' stakeholders. To effectively evaluate the influence of Zeroth Responder, and to better understand the challenge stated in the 2010 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Quadrennial Homeland Security Review Report (QHSR): neighbor-to-neighbor assistance, when done safely, decreases the burden on first responders, and individuals should be seen as force multipliers who may also offer specialized knowledge and skills, this paper develops a quantitative resilience model that can be used to compute resilience figures-of-merit with focus of Zeroth Responders' influence on the Maritime Port Enterprise. An initial Small Vessel Security threat scenario Use of Waterborne Improvised Explosive Devices (WBIED) is modeled to quantify the resilience on a port transportation network.
