Some of the things you can do to prepare for the unexpected, such as making an emergency supply kit and developing a family communications plan, are the same for both a natural or man-made emergency.
However, there are important differences among potential emergencies that will impact the decisions you make and the actions you take.
In this section, you can learn more about the potential emergencies that could happen
in the Virgin Islands and the appropriate way to respond to them.
Knowing what to do during an emergency is an important part of being prepared and may make all the difference when seconds count.

 The Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Operations Plan
(TEOP) is a guide to how the Virgin Islands conducts all-hazards response. It is built upon scalable, flexible, and adaptable coordinating structures to align key roles and responsibilities across the Territory and our Federal partners, linking all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector. It is intended to capture specific authorities and best practices for managing incidents that range from the serious but purely local, to large-scale natural or man-made disasters.
