Crowd Managers at Large Gatherings
To better ensure the health and safety of the citizens and visitors of Fauquier County, the Statewide Fire Prevention Code (SFPC) was adopted and incorporated in Chapter 9 of the Fauquier County Code. It, along with all Fauquier County Codes and Ordinances, will be adhered to.
We ask that organized events follow these codes - including section 403.12.3 Crowd Managers which states in part:
403.12.3 Crowd Managers. Where facilities or events involve a gathering of more than 500 people, crowd managers shall be provided in accordance with Sections 403.12.3.1 through 403.12.3.3.
For a full reading of the SFPC section 403.12.3.1 through 403.12.3.3 visit to the following web page:

Plan Ahead for Disasters
Hurricanes are dangerous and can cause major damage from storm surge, wind damage, rip currents and flooding. They can happen along any U.S. coast or in any territory in the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. Storm surge historically is the leading cause of hurricane-related deaths in the United States.
Take Simple Steps
Hurricanes are not just a coastal problem, find out how rain, wind, water could happen where you live so you can start preparing now.
Discuss your hurricane emergency plan with your household.
Have enough supplies for your household, include medication, disinfectant supplies, cloth face coverings, pet supplies in your go bag or car trunk.
If you or anyone in your household is an individual with a disability identify if you may need additional help during an emergency.
You may have to evacuate quickly due to a hurricane so make sure to know your local evacuation zone.
Download the FEMA app and receive real-time alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five locations nationwide.
Review your insurance policies and make sure personal documents (like ID) are up to date.
Prepare your business with a continuity plan to continue operating when disaster strikes.
