In just over a year, nearly every Virginian has experienced the effects of tornadoes, the historic east coast earthquake, a hurricane, tropical storm and the June Derecho wind storm.

It is also a good time for families to develop and practice an emergency plan and build a kit to survive in a disaster for up to three days.
