Redwood City — As Super Bowl-related activities ramp up ahead of Sunday’s game at Levi’s Stadium, the County of San Mateo is working closely with regional partners to protect the public and keep the community and visitors informed.
As part of that effort, the County will activate its Emergency Operations Center on Friday at a low level as a precautionary measure. The activation, which runs through Monday, Feb. 10, supports County departments, local public safety agencies and regional partners as they track conditions and respond as needed throughout the Bay Area.
“Events like the Super Bowl bring energy and excitement to the entire region,” said Noelia Corzo, president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors. “We want everyone to enjoy themselves and get where they’re going safely. This behind-the-scenes coordination helps ensure we’re ready to support our communities and visitors if conditions change.”
The Emergency Operations Center serves as a hub during significant events and emergencies, providing a direct line of communication to local, state and federal partners. During the activation period, personnel from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and other local public safety agencies, including fire and emergency medical services, will be on hand to share information, coordinate assistance and respond quickly if needed.
