Which cities are notified under Standard Dispatch Order #11?

The cities notified under Standard Dispatch Order #11 primarily include areas that are centrally located and have a significant EMS infrastructure. San Jose, being the largest city in the county, acts as a central hub for emergency services, while both Santa Clara City and Gilroy are vital to the county's overall EMS operation.

Standard Dispatch Order #11 is designed to ensure rapid and efficient response in regions with high population density or considerable emergency needs. The inclusion of San Jose reflects its extensive system for handling medical emergencies, as well as the resources available to support surrounding areas like Santa Clara and Gilroy. In contrast, the other options consist of cities that may have their own EMS protocols or fall under different dispatch orders, thus not being part of this specific standard notification protocol.
