• Emergency Services and Disaster Recovery Operations

  •  

        • Reid-Hillview serves as a base for Emergency Services and Disaster Recovery Operations for the entire Silicon Valley. Agencies such as CalFire, CHP, PG&E, SJ Police, Civil Air Patrol  and CalDART use Reid-Hillview.  FEMA’s 7.9 earthquake planning for the bay area’s San Andreas Fault shows the freeway system crashing – Reid-Hillview is a critical lifeline to the outside world to bring in first responders, food, medical personnel and supplies.  The airport also facilitates the evacuation of those needing extra care and medical attention.
