Port of Long Beach
LONG BEACH — The Port of Long Beach has been awarded more than $2.6 million by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency to protect critical infrastructure and ensure the safe movement of trade at the nation’s second-busiest seaport.
As the nation’s third-largest recipient of the agency’s port security grant program, the Port of Long Beach will invest the funding into strengthening cybersecurity, improving drone detection capabilities and upgrading network infrastructure that supports the efficient flow of cargo.
The Department of Homeland Security also awarded $4.2 million to six terminals within the Port of Long Beach, the Long Beach Police Department’s Port Police Division and the Long Beach Fire Department.
“The Port of Long Beach is essential to our economy, serving as one of the country’s busiest hubs for trade and commerce,” said Sen. Alex Padilla. “This crucial investment in port security from FEMA will strengthen our port infrastructure, while protecting jobs and safeguarding our supply chains and national security.”
