Past emergencies and recovery needs in Campbell

OpenFEMA lists 23 disaster declarations that include Santa Clara County, going back to 1977. The most frequent incident types were severe storms (6 declarations) and flooding (6 declarations). A project that reaches Monte Sereno should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.

The most recent is Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4699), declared April 3, 2023, with the incident beginning February 21, 2023. Severe storms interrupt power, roads and deliveries together, which is hard on any operation that serves meals on a schedule. By incident type, the count is severe storms 6, flooding 6, wildfire 6, hurricane 1 and freezing conditions 1. By decade: 1970s 1, 1980s 5, 1990s 5, 2000s 4, 2010s 2 and 2020s 6. Before that came Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3592, March 10, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4683, January 14, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (EM-3591, January 9, 2023), Wildfires (DR-4558, August 22, 2020) and Scu Ligtning Complex Fire (FM-5338, August 21, 2020).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 147 county-based event records for Santa Clara County; flood events account for 140 of them, high-wind and thunderstorm events for 7. Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.

Santa Clara County is the origin of 2 mapped wildfires of 1,000 acres or more since 2016, adding up to roughly 7,709 acres, according to NIFC. The biggest, Crews, burned 5,513 acres in 2020. Crews fighting and rebuilding after a fire eat on site for weeks, and the kitchens that fed the town may be the ones that lost power.

A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.

Infrastructure work around Campbell

USASpending.gov lists 100 or more federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Santa Clara County since October 2021. In August 2021, the Department of Defense awarded a $155 million contract for “Construction of the South San Francisco Bay Shoreline Reach 1-3 Project” in Santa Clara County, with work running to August 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $101 million Department of Transportation contract, “Construction of New 185FT Atct and Tracon Facility at San Jose Mineta International Airport,” starting August 2026 in Santa Clara County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $76 million to “Construction - Usgs Laboratory Building at Moffett Field, CA” in Santa Clara County, awarded October 2020 (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A job in Los Gatos (about 32,952 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.

Rebuilds and remodels around Campbell

The Department of Veterans Affairs committed $43 million to “Ehrm Infrastructure Upgrade Design Build” in Santa Clara County, awarded March 2022 (award record). Another public record is “Construction - Renovation of Building 19 First Floor at Moffett Field, CA,” a $29 million Department of the Interior contract from September 2022 in Santa Clara County (award record). In September 2025, the Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a $25 million contract for “Sterile Processing Suite Renovation” in Santa Clara County, with work running to January 2028 (award record). Whoever remodels in Saratoga starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?

Getting emergency equipment into Campbell

Public emergency operations in California are coordinated by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. Staging and access details differ again in Cupertino, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
