Countywide Strategic Plan | Strategic Plan

Help shape the future of Fairfax County by providing feedback on the proposed Countywide Strategic Plan. The proposed strategic plan was developed through extensive community engagement and lays out a community-based vision for the next 10 to 20 years. Originally proposed to the Board of Supervisors in February 2020, COVID-19 paused public progress until now.

The updated proposed plan includes recognition of the immediate and longer-term impacts of the pandemic. Find the survey online in English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Vietnamese: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/strategicplan. Please share widely.

Fairfax County, Virginia - Fairfax County has begun a strategic planning process with the community to shape the future together for 2020 and beyond.

Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department

Beautiful weather and warmer temperatures are forecasted for the rest of this week. Warm weather usually prompts many residents to open the windows in their home. Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department wants to alert residents to an issue that tragically comes up each spring (and fall): children falling out of open windows. Sadly, in past years, this has resulted in serious injury and death.

Open windows are a safety risk to children. Screens DO NOT prevent children from falling out. Windows must operate easily for emergency exits in case of fire, but should be made “childproof” by following these safety tips:

⚠️Keep children away from open windows
⚠️Never leave children alone in rooms with open windows
⚠️Open windows from the TOP when possible, or only open four inches
from bottom
⚠️Keep beds, chairs, and other “climbing aids” away from windows
⚠️Consider installing window guards
⚠️Educate older children about the dangers of open windows
