Several of our neighbors on South Shore Drive sustained property damage with many large trees lost.

To find out about the county’s strengths as well as opportunity areas for improvement, we are asking you to fill out an online emergency information survey. It should only take a few minutes and will be open until August 31.<br />
This survey is part of the official review of the storm response and input from residents and businesses will be invaluable. It will be used for OEM’s after-action report on the derecho event and how Fairfax County Government responded.<br />
Emergency communications are critical before, during and after incidents that affect our community. A variety of entities and people are part of that process such as Fairfax County Government, utility companies, the commonwealth of Virginia, the private sector and others. This survey focuses on Fairfax County Government.<br />
“We’re asking for every resident to provide input, as well as business owners,” said David McKernan, coordinator for the Office of Emergency Management. “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.”<br />

It relies on the waters of LakeAnne to air condition about 600 homes along the lake.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are in an unusual situation, one brought on by extremely high temperatures and drought.<br />
<br />
Reston’s first priority is the health and comfort of our residents. We are keenly sympathetic to those are affected by this situation</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are closely working with Aqua Virginia and Aqua America, the utility company that owns and manages the RELAC system. We are also working with the neighborhood associations most affected by the lower than usual lake levels and high temperatures. The goal is to find an immediate solution, such as adding a temporary second pump, which Aqua Virginia is prepared to do.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A complicating factor is that the private golf course won litigation several years ago, giving the course unfettered access to Lake Anne’s waters for irrigation. This is per the deed of the developer. Reston Association has not been successful in our attempts to work with the golf course management.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reston Association is working with the affected homeowners to find a way to meet the immediate need. As we focus our attention on the short-term, immediate needs of the community, know that we are organizing a task force of residents and Reston Association staff/leadership to determine the next steps to meet the long terms need. Again, our primary concern is the well-being of our residents.</span><br />

Thanks to board members Greg Gallardo and Michael Poss for their quick action in contacting Blade Runners on Saturday morning. Cluster thanks also to Michael Poss for going around the cluster with Blade Runners to identify problem areas.<br />
<br />
Blade Runners started working removing trees, branches and large debris beginning on July 1st. They'll be back to clean up the smaller leaves and twigs on their regularly scheduled mowing date.<br />
