Fearrington Homeowners Association (FHA): About

For some time, I have been thinking about the value of having a managed, well-designed community blog to provide a helpful, focused platform for sharing community health and safety information, all in a context that is interactive, enabling a sustained village discussion for exchanging important information, comments, perspectives, and suggestions.

THE NATURE AND VALUE OF A BLOG

Since blogs are AUTHOR centered, they are written in the author's voice and are organized in reverse chronological order with the most recent posts showing on the entry page reflecting the author's identity in the tone, look, and feel. This produces a forum within which organized, focused presentations of important community concerns can be presented to readers, who can then add comments to the author's posts, and visitors can also react to comments that are posted by others. Discussion boards do not allow such a level of presentation and exchange.

This blog site should greatly increase our ability to share such traffic information with residents and to facilitate a higher degree of shared community "ownership" of a range of health and safety issues.

We hope you will use the blog and contribute positively to its growth and value. No registration is required.

FHA Heath, Safety & Security Mission

As stated in the Fearrington Homeowners Association (FHA) Articles of Incorporation, one of the important purposes of the FHA is to "provide for the health, safety and welfare" of the residents of Fearrington Village. As part of this important mission, and to comply with the Articles, the FHA works hard to develop and sustain policies, programs, and services that will help to keep village residents healthy and safe.

The FHA HSS Director oversees emergency preparedness, village road safety, and Community Watch information, sometimes working with ad hoc advisory committees.
At times in the past several years, over 35 residents have served in such advisory roles. Their work and support have been invaluable and very much appreciated.

In addition to its communication with Fearrington residents, the FHA HSS Director maintains collaborative relationships with the Chatham County Emergency Management Department and 911, Emergency Medical Services (FirstHealth/EMS), the Chatham County North Chatham Fire Department, the Chatham County Sheriff's Department, and traffic engineers at the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT, which is responsible for 54 state secondary roads in the village).
