Governor Northam has already declared a state of emergency and the President has approved an emergency declaration for the Commonwealth of Virginia. As we have witnessed in the past, these storms have the potential to damage infrastructure and severely impede emergency response capabilities. I have compiled contact information for federal, state, and local authorities to help you prepare for the worst this storm could bring. If no resources are available in your immediate area, contact the Virginia Emergency Management Agency to ask about other resources or to obtain contact information. My office stands ready to help should you or your loved ones require assistance during this time. 
Scott Taylor
Member of Congress
