Heads up: All traffic on a portion of Moraga Way will be going in the same direction during the drill.

LAMORINDA, CA — If you're in the area of Moraga Country Club this Saturday expect to see a full-scale evacuation exercise. The Moraga-Orinda Fire District, Moraga Police Department, Orinda Police Department, MCC Staff and Lamorinda CERT are coordinating the drill. The exercise involves notifying MCC residents using the Contra Costa County Community Warning System and sending two lanes of traffic toward Orinda on Moraga Way from St. Andrews Drive to Glorietta Blvd.

All traffic on Moraga Way from St. Andrews Drive to Glorietta Blvd. will only be allowed to join the evacuation procession by turning toward Orinda. Traffic will not be allowed to drive toward Moraga from any streets or driveways inside the exercise route from approximately 7 to 8 a.m.

After the exercise, first responders will conduct a de-briefing and participants will be asked to complete a survey.
