With the start of hurricane season on Friday, June 1, VDEM External Affairs, wanted to send you all several updated hurricane preparedness resources for your use and reference.
Your agency may use any message points and content from the links below in your traditional and social media outreach productions. In addition, please share as you deem appropriate the resources below with your agency staff members, as well as local government and NGO partners.
While
www.KnowYourZoneVA.org is targeted to the 23 participating coastal Virginia localities, all other resources are applicable statewide. VDEM will continue to strongly push for all Virginians, in every region of the Commonwealth, to talk to their insurance agent or to contact the National Flood Insurance Program (details below) about purchasing flood insurance. Purchasing a flood insurance policy is one important, proactive action Virginians can take to protect their financial investment and to assist with disaster recovery costs.
