The Resiliency Strategy survey is closing soon, share your input!

The Fairfax Climate Action Committee and town staff are developing a resiliency strategy for the community to prepare for the impacts of climate change.

To inform this strategy, we are seeking input from homeowners, renters, and business owners in the town to assess perceived risks and vulnerabilities to natural hazards such as flooding and wildfires.

We welcome feedback from community members on what features of a resilience center would be most valuable in times of emergencies.
