Threats & Emergencies

Virginia's geographical diversity, from mountains to shoreline, means that the Commonwealth is open to a variety of natural disasters, ranging from severe thunderstorms to winter storms, from hurricanes to geological hazards like landslides. In addition, we must prepare for manmade threats, such as radiological and hazmat incidents and terrorist incidents.

This section of the VDEM site includes information about how to prepare for, respond to and recover from the threats and emergencies that face the Commonwealth.
