Community members should sign up — or confirm their registration — for AC Alert before Saturday, June 14, when the Piedmont Fire Department will hold a community wildfire evacuation exercise and preparedness town hall starting at 9 a.m.

The exercise will consist of a practical evacuation drill in the Blair/Scenic/Alta neighborhood and an at-home exercise for the rest of the community. The at-home exercise is designed to be simple, easy to complete, and high impact. Instructions will be delivered via AC Alert, the emergency notification system for Piedmont and Alameda
County.
