On Friday, June 5, 2026, the California Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) will conduct a statewide full-scale mass casualty incident exercise. As part of this important preparedness effort, Mills-Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame will participate alongside local EMS providers, healthcare partners, and state agencies.
Residents may notice increased emergency response activity in the area, including a Black Hawk helicopter landing on the hospital's helipad as part of the exercise. This is a planned training event and there is no threat to public safety. These exercises help ensure that hospitals, emergency medical personnel, and public safety agencies are prepared to respond effectively during large-scale emergencies and disasters.
We appreciate the community's understanding and support as our regional partners work together to strengthen emergency preparedness and readiness.
