Critical Infrastructure
To demonstrate the challenges of protecting this port, this shows the close knit geography of these critical and widely diverse activities. It is not that San Diego is the biggest port but in a short 10 mile transit from the tip of Pt Loma to the berths at National City, one would transit by the largest naval complex in the Pacific theater, thousands of hotel rooms, a major international airport, baseball park and convention center combined capable of holding in excess of 100,000 people, the only deep water ship construction facility on the West Coast, critical transportation infrastructure and residence of several hundred thousand people. The deep water channel puts all ships within 500 yards or less to shore. The challenge is maintaining a tactical and strategic maritime awareness where by the economic engine described earlier is safeguarded in a split second environment.

Using tools like video conferencing and streaming video, first responders can work together quickly and easily to determine how best to manage large-scale incidents such as natural disasters or terrorist incidents. The goal is to ensure that any public safety responder have the most up to date information possible when responding to a large-scale incident.
