Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan (COVEOP)

The Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan provides the framework for how the state will support impacted local governments, individuals and businesses. It is compatible with the National Response Framework and outlines how Virginia will work with the federal government to deliver federal disaster assistance. The COVEOP improves our capability to respond to and recover from natural and human-caused disasters.

    How is the money distributed?

    Fund proceeds will be distributed to local long-term recovery groups, members of the Virginia Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster and other non-profit and faith-based organizations as a grant.

    Many of these groups work directly with individuals and families following a disaster.

    How else can I donate?

    The Virginia Disaster Relief Fund benefits projects that include: repair or rebuilding of underinsured dwellings, transportation assistance, replacing essential household items, helping renters establish new rental residence, temporary living expenses while recovering from loss, and more.

    How can I donate?
