Seismic Safety & Preparedness
By proactively improving building and infrastructure resilience and preparing for seismic events, we enhance our community's ability to withstand and recover from such disasters. These investments not only save lives but also protect property, critical services, and economic stability. Learn how Measure C helps us to be a prepared community that can respond effectively, minimize disruption, and provide essential support in the aftermath of a seismic event, ensuring its long-term strength and resilience.
Fire Station UpgradesThrough Measure C, the City renovated HFD Fire Stations Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Improvements included vital seismic retrofits to keep firefighters safe and operational during and following an earthquake, energy efficiency enhancements, including solar panels, and Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility improvements. |
Traffic SignalsAlong with seismic retrofits of fire stations, Measure C funded installation of Traffic Signal Preemption technology so Hayward Fire Department apparatus responding to emergency calls can communicate with and override traffic signals at approaching intersections for safety and improved response times. |
New Fire Station #9Potential future Measure C fire-safety and emergency-preparedness projects include replacement of Fire Station #9, which serves neighborhoods along the urban-wildland interface in the Hayward Hills and which currently is made up of an old single-family home and a 25-year-old temporary steel structure. |
