Virginia's Governor, Ralph Northam, is asking people in Virginia to put together a hurricane response plan. In a recent report published by The Gazette-Virginian, Governor Northam is warning state residents about the forecast for a very busy hurricane season.
The governor is warning everyone, not just those who live or work in the coastal areas. There is a risk of inland flooding and damage from strong winds for most of the state, should the right storm track bring a hurricane into Virginia.
Coastal flooding, storm surge, and other wind damage is also a threat for those living on the coast.
“Hurricanes and tropical storms can have devastating impacts on every part of our commonwealth, not just coastal communities,” Northam said. “As the 2021 hurricane season begins, now is the time for all Virginians to prepare for a potential storm by checking your insurance coverage, making an emergency plan, and having a disaster kit ready.”
The state already saw the effects of Tropical Storm Elsa that impacted parts of the state earlier this year.
