Winter Weather Resources and Information
 
Dear Inquirer, 

As many of you all have seen, Virginia is expected to get a major winter storm this weekend. I have gathered some resources that the Virginia Department of Emergency Management has put together to ensure you stay safe. 

 

Please take this storm seriously and make all preparations to ensure that you and your family stay safe. 

Governor Spanberger provided an informative press conference yesterday updating Virginians about the storm and what to expect.

 

It is extremely informative if you have a moment to watch it. 
 

Follow Weather Forecasts

The National Weather Service provides updated live weather predictions to help you stay ahead of the storm.

Many folks to do think about preparing their home until it is too late. Be sure to consider these helpful tips as you prepare for the coming storm.

  • Prepare a plan for potential power outages
  • Learn how to operate your water main shut off valve— in the case of pipe bursts

  • Make sure to limit outdoor access time for all pets
