Lafayette Virtual Evacuation Drill

The Virtual Evacuation Drill that was postponed last month due to the wildfires, will take place Saturday, September 26, starting at 7:30 a.m. Utilizing the Community Warning System (CWS), the Lafayette Police Department, Lafayette Emergency Preparedness Commission, Lamorinda CERT, and Con Fire will be conducting a virtual evacuation drill throughout the City of Lafayette this Saturday.

The City has an Evacuation Plan that has divided the City into different geographical zones. In a real emergency, evacuation orders will be issued for specific geographical zones and will only be issued when there is extreme danger to an area. Residents should evacuate immediately. The September 26 exercise begins at 7:30 a.m. and involves a virtual fire that ignites and begins to spread into Lafayette. Based upon the computer- generated fire model, virtual evacuation orders will be issued to geographic zones that are threatened by the virtual fire.

As with a real emergency, all evacuation orders are issued via the Community Warning System (CWS). CWS is the only source for this information. Nixle will not be used for evacuation messages but may be used to provide other information. You should subscribe to both services. Have discussions with your family about what to do...  More >>

Lafayette Homeowners Council (LHC): Candidates Night

The Lafayette Homeowners Council (LHC) Board of Directors, in conjunction with the coming November election, invites you to attend what our Board considers to be one of the most important programs that we are fortunate to be able to bring to you – our Candidates Night.

This particular Candidates Night will, as usual, focus on our local contested elections but, in order to do justice to all of the candidates for the three Boards on which we believe that Lafayette residents most often focus, there will be two Candidates Nights, rather than just one. These events also include Q and A sessions.

These two Candidates Nights will be presented over two meetings.  These will be ZOOM type webinar meetings, brought to you in your own home.  The first, on October 1, starts at 7:00 p.m., with presentations from the four candidates for the three open Lafayette City Council seats:  Cam Burks, Carl Anduri, Gina Dawson and Farschad Farsan.

The second Candidates Night will be in two parts, conducted in succession, on Tuesday, October 6.  We will start the first part of the meeting at 7 p.m., with presentations by the four candidates for the two contested seats for the Governing...  More >>

Lafayette Chamber Fall Mixer: "Rocky Road" of Life!

Lafayette Chamber Fall Mixer: "Rocky Road" of Life!

Let's get through this "Rocky Road" of life ... together!

 

Join us for a "sweet" monthly mixer sprinkled with fun and information on our partnership with LPIE and how members can partner to support our schools and grow your business.  To help enjoy our socially distant time together, Chamber member and Local Food Adventures founder Lauren McCabe Herpich will take us through a mini version of her new Virtual Ice Cream Social experience and share the delicious history of Rocky Road ice cream, a flavor that was invented right here in the East Bay.


Besides enjoying “dessert” we will hear from LPIE Business Partner volunteer chair, Dave Smith, who will be leading a conversation on how we can engage our local businesses with the community. The remarkable support of our local businesses, restaurants, and real estate agents is one of the reasons why Lafayette is among the best places in the country to live, work, and learn.  LPIE, proudly celebrating their 40th anniversary, is proud to partner with our thriving community through their Business Partners Program.


For those who want to take part in the mix-in action, purchase a Sweets & Smiles Ice Cream Gift Box that includes everything to make your own Rocky Road ice cream during our mixer. Lauren will be donating $1 from every box purchased from our event back to LPIE. To order, click here.

About Local Food Adventures
Lafayette Chamber member Local Food Adventures provides guided walking tours and private food experiences throughout Oakland and the East Bay, including a private Eat Stay Love Lafayette Food Tour great for businesses to entertain clients and strengthen relationships. Due to COVID, it has expanded its offerings with its new Virtual Ice Cream Social private group event and its Local Love Gift Boxes, curated collections of culinary items highlighting local small businesses  including Diablo Foods, Amphora Lafayette and The Nut Factory here in Lafayette. 

 

Since her very first tour, founder and Lafayette mom Lauren McCabe Herpich has donated a percentage of every tour ticket sold to the Alameda County Community Food Bank.

About LPIE
LPIE is a community-based education foundation run by a board and small staff working to enhance and expand the educational opportunities for students in Lafayette’s six public schools: Burton Valley, Happy Valley, Lafayette and Springhill Elementary Schools, Stanley Middle School and Acalanes High School. Their mission is to support and enrich the education of every child in the Lafayette public schools.

 

They do this by funding instruction in art, science, music, writing, and social studies.  Working directly with the districts (LAFSD/AUHSD) to identify areas for investment in core academics and enrichment, LPIE supports programs and efforts that might otherwise go unfunded.

What and When is the ShakeOut? And, Are You Ready?

The Great California ShakeOut, an annual event that has happened every year since 2009, is, at a minimum, a one-minute earthquake drill, and always happens – rain, shine, smoke, or heat – the third Thursday of October. This year that is October 15, and, as always, it starts at 10:15 a.m. The Lafayette Emergency Preparedness Commission reminds us that we have more threats in Lafayette than just wildfires! Earthquakes are an ever-present danger and we must prepare for them just as we prepare for wildfire evacuations and COVID-19.

With that in mind, the main goal of the ShakeOut is to get prepared for earthquakes, so use the ShakeOut as an opportunity to learn what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. Everyone should participate, whether at home, at school or work, even in your car. How do I protect myself in an earthquake? I have heard "drop-cover-hold on,” but what happened to the “doorframe” or “triangle of life” theory, if you remember those? And, again, why shouldn’t one run outside?
Well, it’s true, the safest thing to do during an earthquake is to "drop-cover-hold on.” Forget about the “triangle of life,” if you ever heard of it, as it’s...  More >>
