The Southern California fires have heightened the urgency for Santa Clara County leaders to recognize the critical role of Reid-Hillview Airport in community safety. Recent catastrophic fires, such as the SCU and CZU Lightning Complex, demonstrated the airport's significance in providing support for firefighting efforts. Despite its historical importance in disaster response and previously backed studies, there is ongoing discussion about closing the airport, which could undermine future disaster preparedness efforts. Local leaders are now re-evaluating their strategies to ensure community resilience against emergencies.
Reid-Hillview Airport plays a crucial role in community safety, particularly in disaster preparedness, and its closure would jeopardize critical air support during emergencies.
San Jose Mayor and Los Gatos Town Manager are urging a reassessment of disaster readiness, highlighting the essential role of local airports, particularly Reid-Hillview.
