Fairfax County Declares Local State of Emergency for Coronavirus (COVID-19) 
On Tuesday, March 17, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors declared a local state of emergency in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.
The local emergency declaration is primarily a financial mechanism that provides greater flexibility and authority for the county in purchasing hard to find resources and supplies. It also increases the authorities granted to the county to protect the health and safety of the community and provide emergency assistance in such a rapidly evolving incident.

Fairfax County Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program Coordinator can help care for your Neighbors

The neighbor to neighbor (N2N) program is simple – neighbors helping neighbors. During normal times, the initiative aims to provide support to neighbors, especially older adults, to live well and remain independent within their communities. Neighbors can join to form a volunteer group that offers support with rides, shopping trips and other activities.  At this special time of COVID-19, the Fairfax County N2N Coordinator can help concerned Communities, HOAs and Civic Associations organize opportunities for neighbors to provide volunteer services such as grocery deliveries and friendly check-in phone calls to those most vulnerable in their neighborhood. Community leaders can contact the coordinator by phone, or email to receive guidance to help put together this important effort for their neighborhoods.
