Dear Fairfax Community:

The triple tragedy of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power plant failures in Japan is on the minds of many residents. Our heartfelt thoughts go out to the Japanese people, as well as to those residents of Fairfax with family and friends in Japan, in this time of tragedy.

Residents who are concerned about the status of the nuclear power plants in Japan can access information on the following websites:
