EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Residents of Kingstowne,

As time has passed since the terrorist attack on this nation, the threat of bioterrorist events, sniper attacks and other viruses have made us keenly aware of the need to be prepared in the case of an emergency.  

This organization, local government and federal entities are working together to update plans and provide information to you in the event of such an emergency.  With the past events we are reminded that home emergency preparedness is a must and should be well thought out, because preparedness begins at home. 

The Board of Trustees and Staff would like to inform the residents of this community that in case of an emergency the Business Office may be closed.  Information and emergency messages will be posted on this website and on the automated voice message at 703-922-9477.  A key essential function such as trash removal will cease until all imminent danger has passed.  Please keep this in mind and keep an sufficient supply of heavy-duty bags for storage of refuse until trash services resume.  

We would also encourage members of this association and their families to design a plan then keep this plan at work, home and in all vehicles.  The list below are includes items that should be included in all plans:

Water Non-perishable food
First aid supplies Medications
Battery-powered radio Flashlight
Duct tape Cash/Traveler’s checks
Clothing Bedding
Tools Toiletry items
Special needs items Important documents
Pet emergency Plan

For more details on the items above here are some sites that can assist you in creating plan for you,  your family and employees:
