The Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) is directed to identify, review and maintain a comprehensive list of state-owned resources that may be required in the event of state shelter activation and to coordinate the use of such state assets in support of shelter activation. The State Coordinator (VDEM) is required to review all statewide plans related to state shelters and to ensure that all plans support a comprehensive and uniform approach to emergency response, are regularly updated, and are aligned with the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan (COVEOP). Finally, VDEM, in coordination with all other state agencies, local government, federal government, and private sector partners, is made responsible for logistics functions as outlined in the COVEOP in support of state shelter activation.
