What has changed in this article

  1. October 5, 2026

    Added what the countywide evacuation study, the signal upgrades and Orinda's new evacuation modeling mean for this guide, corrected which county alert system to register with, and linked each agency's own evacuation page.

    • Alert registration: Contra Costa residents register with the Community Warning System (CWS). The guide previously pointed to AC Alert, which is Alameda County's system.
    • New section, What's New: the Countywide Emergency Evacuation Study, Smart Signals at 56 Lamorinda intersections, and Orinda's Ladris scenarios on OrindaReady.com.
    • Key Resources now links the specific evacuation pages for Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda, MOFD, ConFire, the county, Nixle and Genasys Protect.
    • The disclaimer is now labeled as one and repeated at the top of the page.
