WEATHER UPDATE: Youngkin declares state of emergency ahead of storm

Richmond Times-Dispatch Sep 22, 2023 Updated 25 min ago

This is a developing story that will be updated.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin declared a State of Emergency in advance of the storm.

The declaration clears the way for state emergency management officials to move a range of equipment and supplies out of storage and near points where state and local emergency workers can move the items quickly to where they are needed.

The declaration activates the Virginia Emergency Support Team while the the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) will coordinate preparedness, response, and recovery efforts with local, state, and federal officials.

The storm is coming up the coast, and it's going to hit you before it hits us.

And good afternoon.
