can share your information with people who call us looking for you. She would like to eventually put
this on the city web site for people to find what they need here in Caldwell.
B.-Emergency Contact info must be updated for emergencies. When a water line was hit last month,
we needed to be able to notify the hangar owners for the flooding that was taken place. lf you don't
have an emergency number in your file, please contact the Airport so we can update.
