Fairfax County Preparedness Survey

Disasters can strike anytime, anywhere. Some are predictable, like hurricanes; others are sudden and unthinkable—tornadoes, floods, fires, power outages, or acts of terrorism.

But preparedness saves lives. With planning, you can reduce a disaster’s impact on yourself, your family, and your community.

The Fairfax County Department of Emergency Management and Security is committed to helping our community become more prepared and resilient to all hazards. In a crisis, emergency services focus on those in greatest danger. The more prepared we are individually, the better our community’s outcomes.

To strengthen our preparedness, Fairfax County is launching the Emergency Preparedness Survey. This survey will assess how prepared residents are and what drives them to take action. The results will guide individuals, communities, and local government in building a stronger, more resilient Fairfax County.
