Hurricane Joaquin

On September 30th, Governor Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The declaration empowers public safety officials to respond to weather-related events in communities across Virginia.

The Executive Order, which operates retroactively to Tuesday, September 29th, allows Virginia state and local emergency responders to begin to prepare for the effects of the 8-10” of rain forecast across the Commonwealth Thursday and Friday, as well as the potential that Hurricane Joaquin will impact Virginia.
