Emergency Preparedness Drill to be Conducted Dec. 15

SamTrans and Caltrain will participate in an emergency preparedness drill on the train tracks behind Costco in Redwood City Saturday, Dec. 15. The exercise will be held from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a rail spur that is not used for regular train service. 

This annual drill supports the agency's emergency preparedness efforts by providing an opportunity to train with local public safety agencies on how to respond to an emergency. During the drill nearby residents and businesses will see a locomotive with passenger cars, as well as police and fire personnel and vehicles with lights and occasional sirens. A SamTrans bus also will be used in the drill.

There will be no disruption to traffic or train service during the drill.  Neighbors and residents have been notified in advance. On-lookers will not be allowed into the area where the drill is being conducted.
