A little bit of planning now can save your family or business a lot of money, time, and heartache in the event of a natural disaster.

The Bedford County Office of Emergency Management wants to help you prepare for weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and flooding. 

We encourage you to use the tools on this page to become a more informed citizen. You can also sign up for Alert Bedford to receive emergency alerts and subscribe to Bedford County e-notices to receive non-emergency announcements related to weather and public safety.

Families should also assemble an emergency supply kit. Watch the video below to learn how to get started and find more items to include on the Virginia Department of Emergency Management website.
