Content Inside: Port Operations and Economic Conditions Simulators The National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center a program under the Department of Homeland Securitys (DHS) Infrastructure Protection/ Risk Management Division (IP/RMD) provides advanced modeling and simulation capabilities for the analysis of critical infrastructures their interdependencies vulnerabilities and complexities. These capabilities help improve the robustness of our nations critical infrastructures by aiding decision makers in the areas of policy analysis investment and mitigation planning education and training and near real-time assistance to crisis response organizations. NISAC is a partnership between Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) integrating the two laboratories expertise in infrastructure disruption/vulnerability modeling and simulation. Maritime Security A focus area for NISAC is the importance of international trade and maritime infrastructure to our nations economic health. International trade and the maritime infrastructure are to vital to economic health Port Operations The Port Operations Simulator analyzes the flow of shipping containers (import and export) through a container terminal at a port examining the impact of additional security measures on the flow of goods through the port (e.g. increased inspections scanners at various locations or new security policies). It also examines the effect of failure of port-related infrastructures (e.g. electrical power telecommunications).
