DECPR provides gifts to needy family for Christmas


With the amazing generosity of our staff and the help of the Richmond Department of Social Services, we were able to deliver Christmas gifts to a needy Richmond family on Dec. 20. Pictured is LaTonya Anderson with Social Services and the family with the gifts. Thanks to all of our staff for their donations!

New logo to be used for new departmental name

In November, Richmond City Council approved the addition of the Office of Emergency Management and the name change to the Department of Emergency Communications, Preparedness and Response (DECPR). The new logo should be used in all materials.

Let Karen know if you need help with the new logo usage.
