VA Prepares for 2026 Hurricane Season with Expanded Veteran Support

VA Prepares for 2026 Hurricane Season with Expanded Veteran Support

Picture a Veteran you know. They’ve ridden out storms before, but maybe they’re a retiree living alone in a Gulf Coast apartment, or a disabled Veteran in the Carolinas depending on powered medical equipment. Trained for hard situations and accustomed to pushing through, they believe they are ready. Then a Category 2 storm knocks out the power for nine days. By day four, a critical medication runs out. The pharmacy is closed. Roads are flooded. The phone battery is dead. It happens every season… not to a headline, but to real people in real homes across the Gulf Coast, the Carolinas and the mid-Atlantic. The gap between feeling prepared and being prepared is where emergencies become crises. “It only takes one,” said Assistant Secretary Reginald Neal, leading VA’s Office of Operations, Security, and Preparedness (OSP). “One storm. One week without power. One heat wave. That’s all it takes.” The mission doesn’t stop When disaster strikes, VA doesn’t stand down—it expands. VA has a “Fourth Mission,” authorizing support, not just for enrolled Veterans, but entire communities when local medical systems buckle under a storm’s weight. OSP and the Veterans Health Administration’s Office of Emergency Management work year-round to track threats, protect VA facilities and pre-position staff and supplies where they’re most needed. In practice, that means VA can perform outreach, surge mobile medical units into storm-damaged communities, transfer patients from threatened hospitals before landfall, and keep Veterans connected to care through telehealth when roads are impassable and clinics are dark. VA coordinates directly with FEMA and the Department of Health and Human Services, state emergency managers and local agencies, so that when a storm makes landfall, the response is already moving. But even the most capable emergency system has limits. It cannot help a Veteran who cannot be reached. Answer the call When major storms or incidents occur, VA may contact Veterans in affected areas by phone, text or email with real-time information about clinic closures, alternate care sites, pharmacy refills and evacuation guidance. Veterans are urged to do two things: prepare and respond. If you are a Veteran with high-risk medical conditions and a weather threat is predicted, keep your phone charged and save your VA medical center’s number in your contacts. If a call or text comes from VA during a weather threat, open it. Read it. The message may ask if you need assistance, tell you where to refill a critical prescription, how to reach your care team by telehealth, or where the nearest alternate clinic is located. Missing that message could mean missing care. VA also asks Veterans to make sure their contact information—phone number, address and email—is current in the system before storm season intensifies. It takes minutes to update, and it ensures VA can reach you when it matters most. The heat is a weapon too Hurricanes command attention. Heat kills quietly. For Veterans managing heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, mental illnesses or chronic pain, and particularly for those taking medications that affect hydration or circulation, a heat wave can become a medical emergency faster than a storm surge. When a hurricane knocks out power and air conditioning disappears for a week, extreme heat is not a secondary concern. It becomes the primary threat. “Heat conditions aren’t always portrayed as a disaster event, like hurricanes, but they are just as deadly, especially for Veterans with chronic health conditions,” said Dr. Aarthi Chary, M.D., leading Biodefense, Readiness and Response in VHA’s Public Health National Program Office. Chary co-chairs the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS), an integrated information system supporting heat resilience and providing heat risk-related information and resources on Heat.gov.   “Talk with your VA provider now about how heat affects your specific conditions and medications,” Chary said. “Know where your nearest cooling center is. Have water stored. Have a plan to check on the Veterans you know who live alone.” What to do this week Veterans and their families don’t need to overhaul their lives to be prepared. Just consider taking these focused steps now: Check your medications. Keep at least a 2-week supply on hand and carry a written list of prescriptions. Veterans can request emergency prescription refills through MyHealtheVet or VA Health Connect. Know your power vulnerabilities. If you use oxygen, a CPAP, dialysis equipment or a power wheelchair, or other electricity-dependent medical devices, talk to your VA provider today about backup options. The same applies if you need IVs, feeding pumps, nebulizers and refrigerators for medications that must be stored at a certain temperature. Build a simple kit. Water, food, flashlights, batteries, documents, pet supplies—and a plan for where you will go if you must leave. Update your VA contact info. Call your VA medical center or log in to VA.gov to confirm your phone number and address are current. Have a family plan. Know your evacuation route, meeting point, and who will check on you and practice it before the storm. Be sure to sign up for and pay close attention to local alerts and emergency information with special instructions from officials. One Storm Changes Everything Veterans know something that most people only learn in a crisis: conditions can deteriorate fast, and the window to act closes quickly. The same discipline that carried you through difficult situations—planning ahead, staying connected, knowing your resources—is exactly what will carry you and your family through this hurricane season. When disasters hit, it can take a significant toll on people’s mental health. Call the Veterans Crisis Line by dialing 988 and pressing 1 for free, confidential, 24/7 support. VA is ready. Its emergency teams across the country are prepared. The question is whether Veterans will take the steps today to make that system work for them when it counts. “One storm is all it takes. The time to prepare is not after it forms, not after it makes landfall. It’s now,” Neal said. Learn more about the steps to take to be Veteran Ready by visiting Ready.gov/hurricanes.

VA Federal EHR System Updated with Veteran Exposure Records

The Federal Electronic Health Record (EHR) received critical updates this month enabling the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care teams to make more informed decisions that improve Veteran care. The Individual Longitudinal Exposure Record (ILER), which was created by VA and the Department of War (DOW), provides an electronic record of each service member’s occupational and environmental health exposures over the course of their career. Now available at the 10 Federal EHR live sites, VA teams can use ILER data to inform clinical decisions in exposure-related care and assess disability claims, improving accuracy and processing time of claims and benefits determinations. “Having this important Veteran exposure information available directly in the Federal EHR is a significant improvement from having to search standalone applications,” said VA Deputy Secretary Paul Lawrence, Ph.D. “By reducing the need to switch between applications and giving our staff members more efficient access to this data, they can spend more time caring for Veterans.” Six other capability and interface updates In addition to the ILER enhancement this month, there was a series of other planned upgrades across the Federal EHR, including six capability and interface updates that were successfully added to further improve functionality and usability of the system. The Federal EHR is now live at 10 VA Medical Centers and 55 VA clinics, serving more than 408,000 Veterans. Under VA’s accelerated schedule, the following additional Federal EHR deployments will take place this year: June 6, 2026: Chillicothe VA Medical Center (Chillicothe, Ohio) Cincinnati VA Medical Center (Cincinnati, Ohio) Cincinnati VA Medical Center-Fort Thomas (Ft. Thomas, Ky.) Dayton VA Medical Center (Dayton, Ohio) August 2026: Fort Wayne VAMC (Fort Wayne, Ind.) Marion VAMC (Marion, Ind.) Richard L. Roudebush VAMC (Indianapolis, Ind.) October 2026: Alaska VA Healthcare System (Anchorage, Alaska) Louis Stokes Cleveland VAMC (Cleveland, Ohio) For more information about the EHRM program and the Federal EHR, visit the EHRM website.

VA2K Walk promotes physical activity and supports Veterans

2 weeks ago

"An opportunity for exercise, fun and service The VA2K is more than just a walk—it’s a movement that brings people together for a powerful cause. Every May, VA healthcare facilities nationwide host this 1.24‑mile walk to inspire physical activity and support Veterans experiencing homelessness. It’s short enough to fit into a lunch break and meaningful enough to make a real difference. VA Tennessee Valley employees celebrate VA2K in 2025. This year marks the 16th annual VA2K at VA sites nationwide. Last year, 121 VA facilities participated, bringing together 27,170 walkers and generating more than $250,000 of in‑kind donations for Veterans in need. Since the event began in 2011, communities across the country have contributed an incredible $3.8 million in donations. Nancy Gendreau, a nurse practitioner with VA Boston Health Care System, has proudly served as the Boston VA2K coordinator for 16 years and the national coordinator for the past four years. “Every year, this event brings out the very best in our VA workforce and creates a fun, supportive atmosphere for people across the country,” she said. “VA2K is special because it gets people outside, shows how simple it can be to fit a quick walk into your day, and shines a light on the needs of our homeless Veterans. It’s truly a win‑win for everyone involved.” Gendreau’s enthusiasm reflects the spirit of an event built on collaboration. The VA2K is a true team effort, uniting employees, Veterans and community members while highlighting the importance of staying active. Each site collaborates with a range of partners to bring the event to life, including Whole Health, the Center for Development and Civic Engagement (CDCE), Veterans Canteen Service (VCS), Public Affairs and the Homeless Veterans Program. VCS has proudly supported VA2K for 15 years, providing water and coordinating event apparel. CDCE has also been a longtime champion, helping collect, distribute and track donations that directly benefit Veterans in need. A short walk. A strong community. A big impact. That’s the heart of the VA2K."
