Residents and Businesses Encouraged to Provide Feedback Through Emergency Information Survey

The Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is asking for feedback from county residents and businesses to help assess the county's response to the June 29 derecho storm.  To find out about the county's strengths as well as opportunity areas for improvement, we are asking you to fill out an online emergency information survey. It should only take a few minutes and will be open until September 7.

This survey is part of the official review of the storm response and input from residents and businesses will be invaluable. It will be used for OEM's after-action report on the derecho event and how Fairfax County Government responded.

Emergency communications are critical before, during and after incidents that affect our community. A variety of entities and people are part of that process such as Fairfax County Government, utility companies, the commonwealth of Virginia, the private sector and others. This survey focuses on Fairfax County Government.
