Disaster Preparedness

Disaster Preparedness is described as being prepared to handle any disaster that can occur, man-made or natural. There are all types of disasters that we must plan for in this county. Chesterfield County is subject to many potential disasters (natural and man-made, including war) that could cost lives and destroy property over a wide area. The county is vulnerable to hurricanes, winter storms, floods, tornadoes, thunderstorms, industrial incidents and transportation accidents, to name a few.
