Emergency Management


There are two main categories of disasters: natural, such flooding, severe storms, and health pandemics; and human-caused, such as chemical spills, active shooters, train derailments, structure fires, and water main breaks.


NVDA focuses primarily on mitigation and preparedness, but we also provide assistance during response and recovery in larger-scale events. NVDA staff work with member communities to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize actions to eliminate or lessen the risk. This entails arming people with information and training – and creating opportunities to test and practice emergency plans.


For more information about any of these services below, please email Bruce Melendy, the Emergency Management Specialist at NVDA, or call 802-424-1420.
