Emergency Preparedness in Loudoun County

Loudoun County encourages everyone to make a plan and know what to do during an emergency. This means having an up-to-date contact list for those you may need to reach during a disaster and establishing alternate methods of communication in case traditional means are not available.

Be Informed

Know what types of disasters or emergencies might occur and know what protective measures to take before, during, and after an emergency. Take the COVID-19 pandemic into consideration when making your plans and take steps to protect yourself against the spread of the virus.

Make a Plan

Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes so it is important to plan in advance: how you will get to a safe place; how you will contact one another; how you will get back together; and what you will do in different situations.

Build a Kit

A disaster supplies kit is simply a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency.

Try to assemble your kit well in advance of an emergency.
