Section Nine: Response Reliability <br /> <br />has decreased reliability overall. Thus the reassignment of the Valley River engine to the Santa <br />Clara Station is a system-wide concern rather than only a localized one. <br /> <br />While the response reliability figures above support the need to re-staff the Valley River engine, <br />they are not an entirely accurate measurement of the overall reliability of the system. This is true <br />not only because the system includes dynamically deployed response resources, but also because <br />units responding outside their normal first-response area are covering for units temporarily <br />assigned elsewhere (training, etc.). Actual response times are a far superior measure of the <br />effectiveness of the entire system. <br /> <br />The primary purpose of measuring response reliability is to show where call volume is <br />significant enough to indicate a need for a greater concentration of resources or possibly the need <br />for a peak activity unit. <br /> <br /> 73 <br /> <br /> <br />
