Message from James Snider, CBP, Trade Program Manager.
April 15, 2010 - Paraphrased for this presentation;
Stakeholders:
On June 10, 2009, we held our first Business Resumption
meeting at Otay Cargo. Subsequently, we held additional
meetings during the remainder of the year in order to gather
information for our Business Resumption Plan. Based on the
information and feedback obtained during these meetings, the
San Diego Field Office (CBP) drafted a Business Resumption
document. A few months back, I sent out a draft copy of the
Business Resumption plan for review. Based on your
comments, the Business Resumption draft plan was updated
and finalized.

BUSINESS RESUMPTION
Objective:
Develop a workable operating plan
of activities required to return the
Otay Mesa Cargo Port to normal
operation after a severe
emergency.
6
BUSINESS RESUMPTION
• Scenario Evaluated:
• A HIGH magnitude earthquake with an
epicenter near the port occurs at the
beginning of a work day, causing severe
damage to the port and to SR 905 and
SR125, effectively isolating the port on
the US side. There is similar damage on
the Mexican side of the border.
