The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) has launched a website for emergency response pilots to help them find 150 heliport-equipped hospitals across California during medical emergencies. The service provides a critical link between hospitals and response personnel for daily or large-scale medical emergencies.

The website features “dataplates” which detail permitted approach paths for all the permitted Hospital Heliports in California. Additionally, the web page contains information to assist emergency planners, helicopter operators, and other users.
