During the current buildup from Hurricane\Storm Florence concerns for community preparedness, threats to nuclear facilities in the path of the storm, and the leadership of the Commonwealth of Virginia requested a pre-approved Presidential Disaster Declaration before the threat struck land were many of your concerns.
