V400: Emergency Management Fall Forum
Registration for the Fall Forum is now open in the Knowledge Center. You may enroll for either the Blacksburg or Fredericksburg session. The Fall Forum program is scheduled for one full day and a half.Â
The Virginia Emergency Management Fall Forum is a collaborative effort of the Virginia Department of Emergency Management and the Virginia Emergency Management Association (VEMA). Attendance at either the Emergency Management Fall Forum or the VEMA annual spring symposium is a requirement for those affiliated with jurisdictions receiving Emergency Management Performance Grant funding. Participants may attend one of the Fall Forum events as well as the annual spring symposium event.Â
A key feature of the Fall Forum includes the State Coordinator’s briefing with federal and state legislative updates. Also, current trends, challenges, and solutions in emergency management will be presented. The Fall Forum is an opportunity to meet new staff, connect with colleagues from across the Commonwealth, and provide input on upcoming initiatives and plans. Do not miss this opportunity to have your voice heard as we continue to strengthen the link between local and state emergency management.Â
Attendees requiring overnight accommodations should make arrangements directly with the designated hotel. If attendees choose to lodge at another hotel, reimbursement will be limited to the state lodging rate. When making reservations, tell the hotel staff you wish to reserve a room in the “EM Fall Forum Block." VDEM will reimburse the cost of lodging for each jurisdiction's director and coordinator of Emergency Management or their designated representatives if financial support is necessary. Authorized personnel traveling more than 70 miles to the Fall Forum site will be reimbursed for lodging. Attendees should use official vehicles for travel and attend the closest Forum as a one-day commute where possible.
