Winter Weather: Be Prepared!
Cold weather is here!
While Virginia does not experience the extreme winter weather other parts of the country do, every year there is a threat of snow, low temperatures, and ice. Take the time now to review and prepare for the potential severe weather this winter.
The attached guide was assembled by our very own Director of Emergency Management, Laura Morse.
