DEPLOYMENT ZONES
For response time deployment planning, reporting and compliance purposes, there are three
(3) Deployments Zones, and three (3) Sub-zones within each Deployment Zone based on
population density. The response areas outside of the Contractor’s EOA responsibility (Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Piedmont, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) are
not included in these zones.
The three Deployment Zones are:
North: From the northwest County line down the bayside communities to an east/west line
crossing Interstate 880 (I-880) at Industrial Boulevard, intersecting Palomares Road and continuing in the north-easterly direction to the County line.
South: From the line crossing I-880 at Industrial Boulevard and intersecting Palomares
Road continuing southerly to Niles Canyon Road, then south-easterly along Niles Canyon Road, Paloma Way and Calaveras Road to the County line.
East: Commonly called the Tri-Valley, the three cities and unincorporated areas within
Alameda County east of the North and South Deployment Zones.

DEPLOYMENT SUBZONES
The three subzones, which were updated effective July 1, 2023 based on 2022 Census Data, differen-
tiated on the map above by color, are:
Metro/Urban: Area shaded in green that correlates to 2,000 or more residents per square mile
Suburban: Area shaded in light blue that correlates to 1,000 to 1,999 residents per square mile
Rural/Open Space: Area shaded in yellow that correlates to 0 to 999 residents per square mile
RESPONSE TYPES
The three response types are:
Code 3: Medical calls requiring a lights and sirens response. Calls categorized as a Priority 1, 2 or 3 response secondary to their complaint and acuity determined through the Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS) utilized by Oakland Fire Dispatch and Alameda County Regional Emergency Com- munications Center (ACRECC). Code 2 calls upgraded by emergency personnel on scene due to an emergent patient condition are upgraded to Code 3.
Code 2: Medical Calls not requiring a lights and sirens response. Calls categorized as a Priority 4
response secondary to their complaint and acuity determined through the Medical Priority Dispatch
System (MPDS) utilized by Oakland Fire Dispatch and Alameda County Regional Emergency Com- munications Center (ACRECC). Code 3 calls downgraded by emergency personnel on scene due to a
non-emergent patient condition are upgraded to Code 2.
5150: Non-medical behavioral health responses which do not utilize lights or sirens.
