ARES DISTRICT 5 / WESTERN TIDEWATER



ARES-RACES District 5 Map
In February of 2020,  Virginia ARES was reorganized into seven districts from the former 15 in order to bring the geographic boundaries into alignment with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) Regions.  In the previous alignment, our “service area” was whole contained within the former District 10 encompassing the counties of Greenville, Isle of Wight, Southampton, Surry and Sussex.  The new District 5 is much larger and encompasses Accomack, Chesapeake, Gloucester, Hampton, Isle of Wight, James City, Lancaster, Matthews, Middlesex, Northampton, Northumberland, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Poquoson, Richmond, Southampton, Suffolk, Surry, Westmoreland, York and Virginia Beach.  Our “service area” is now the Western Tidewater area of District 5 encompassing Isle of Wight, Southampton and Surry counties.
