The Contra Costa County Community Warning System (CWS)  is an all-hazards system designed to alert the community of an emergency through multiple communication tools. We urge all residents to register with CWS to receive emergency alerts. 

Among the alerts issued by CWS, evacuation orders caused by Wildfire are the most notable for Kensington.
