STORM UPDATE for Virginia

In our affected areas, it is still important to exercise caution to protect one’s life, and response agencies are still working swift water missions. There are many residents and businesses affected that are in need of support whether it be debris clearance, shelter, food, or other resources

The Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VEM) is currently working with FEMA, VDEM Recovery Staff, and local Emergency Managers to initiate the Preliminary Damage Assessment process. The results of the damage assessments are necessary to apply for federal disaster recovery assistance, which the Governor will do as soon as initial assessments are complete.

Additional information on the damage assessment process can be found at www.fema.gov/disaster/how-declared.
