Fairfax Emergency Survey Fairfax County is conducting a survey that officials hope will help improve communications during emergencies. The survey is part of a review process of the county's response to the July 2012 derecho that knocked out power in much of the region.
"It's important for us as emergency planners to learn how this storm affected our residents, businesses and infrastructure so that we can implement corrective measures and plans for a better response for future storms," said David McKernan, coordinator for the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management.
