PHOTOS: CAPITO ADDRESSES WEST VIRGINIA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Press Release

"It was great to speak to the West Virginia Emergency Management Conference and thank our dedicated first responders and emergency professionals from our state. Their contributions to the Mountain State's ability to respond to a crisis, especially the 2016 floods, have been invaluable for the safety of West Virginians every day. Through my role on the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, I have been able to direct resources that help meet community needs like the West Virginia Emergency Operations Center Facility and Mobile Command Unit, our firefighters, and our emergency medical services, and I look forward to continuing to partner with state leaders to help keep West Virginia safe and prepared."
