During World War II, the California coast was dotted with observation bunkers manned around the clock to warn of a surprise attack by the Japanese armed forces.
After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, California once again began to prepare for the unthinkable. But, with a difference.
Today the frontline isn’t the pacific coast but, rather, all of California’s ports, its bridges and landmarks, its power plants and cities.
We sat down with Michael Nacht, the Dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley, to ask him how he feels California is preparing for — and working to prevent — a terrorist attack.
