The Virginia Association of Hazardous Materials Response Specialists is the coordinated voice for hazardous materials response team members throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Association members exchange information on a state-wide basis, interface with national organizations, and develop a common inventory list of resources and promote resource sharing in the Commonwealth.
It is the goal of the Association to promote standardization of techniques, equipment training, and teams, and to unite, for mutual benefit, those persons engaged in hazardous materials response and provide support to hazardous materials response teams.

Real Time Situation Status for the Commonwealth
VDEM's Virginia Interoperability Picture for Emergency Response, or VIPER, is a tool that not only gives Virginia Emergency Operations Center staff the ability to visually assess statewide emergency management operations in real time, but it also automatically offers users instant access to essential local information through traditional Geographic Information Systems layers.
For example, if a locality experiences a rapidly escalating traffic incident, VIPER will provide information about nearby hospitals; in the case of a hazardous materials spill, VIPER will offer data about area schools; during a flood, VIPER will alert users to low-lying areas that could be affected.
