Events of the past few years have reminded us that we must all be prepared for emergency situations. Virginia is fortunate to be home to numerous military, government and business headquarters, but this also means that we must remain extra vigilant for threats to our security. Virginia’s geography also means that we are not immune from natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornados, and we as Virginians must remain prepared for responding to these emergencies.
