Community preparedness study
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is seeking input from residents to guide updates to the county’s emergency preparedness plans via an online survey.
“Your feedback will help us improve our emergency preparedness and response efforts,” said Board Chair John Gioia, District 1 supervisor. “The safety of our community is one of our most important priorities.”
The survey seeks to garner information on the experiences and knowledge of Contra Costa residents and workers on local hazards in order to guide county and municipal officials on mitigating threats to safety via future strategies and actions.
The survey is available in both English and Spanish. It is open through Jan. 30.

The free event is scheduled for next Friday (Oct. 27) from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the San Ramon Valley Conference Center at 3301 Crow Canyon Road in San Ramon. Registration is available here.
Murder mystery dinner
The Danville Senior Center is set to be reimagined as the estate of the fictional “Sir Warren Peace” at the upcoming Danville Murder Mystery at the start of November.
“He has invited his worst enemies to a gala knowing that he will inevitably be murdered,” event organizers said in an Oct. 18 announcement. “One of the invitees is the murderer and it falls on his guests to solve the crime and the winning team to do so will inherit his fortune.”
The Hollywood-themed “whodunnit” is open to adults 34-years-old and above, who are invited but not required to dress for the occasion.
The event is scheduled for Nov. 3 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Registration is open through Oct. 27 at danville.ca.gov.
