Hillcrest has no formal role or responsibility in community wide emergency response activities. However, depending on specific events and/or conditions, Hillcrest Central Administration may determine ways in which Hillcrest resources (e.g., space, vehicles, staff) may be put at the disposal of community emergency response agencies, on a completely voluntary basis.

Both on a campus specific and agency wide basis, Hillcrest strives to maintain positive, open and mutually supportive relationships with all local community emergency response agencies.
