Help build a Resiliency Strategy for Fairfax


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. Additionally, we are considering developing a resilience center to offer shelter and resources during natural disasters, power outages, and other emergencies.


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