Community Resiliency GroupWHO, WHAT
The Community Resiliency Group (CRG) is comprised of community partner organizations that serve the public in day to day services, such as food, shelter, furniture, clothing, residential organizations, PTAs, schools, local police and fire, etc.
In the event of disaster, the members of the CRG will be convened to discuss their local situation and problem solve how to best support each other, the community and the government in some response, and mostly recovery efforts. They will also be used to communicate information to and from the community they serve.
There will be a CRG for each supervisor district in Fairfax County, comprised of the above groups, and others as applicable.
