The Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) is a state government agency in the public safety sector focused on protecting Virginia's residents and property from emergencies and disasters. It coordinates the state's emergency preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery efforts, working with local governments, state and federal agencies, private companies, and voluntary organizations. Based in Richmond, Virginia, the agency operates with a statewide remit and a mid-sized workforce tasked with integrating these functions across partners and communities. Its activities span planning, coordination, and execution of emergency management across the commonwealth. VDEM engages with the broader emergency management community through events and partnerships, such as participation in the 2026 Virginia Emergency Management Symposium held in Norfolk. A collaboration with the New College Institute produced an Active Shooter Exercise Development Workshop in 2025, illustrating the agency's role in training and exercise development.
