About Region III

From its offices in Philadelphia, FEMA's Region III works in partnership with the emergency management agencies of the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters.

Region III's most common challenges are hurricanes and other storms that can cause flooding throughout the region and flash flooding in mountainous areas. The Region is also subject to tornadoes and earthquakes.

Patricia G. Arcuri, Acting Regional Director for Region III, leads a staff of more than 80 full-time employees and a cadre of approximately 370 on-call Disaster Assistance Employees available to support the region's activities during a Presidential Disaster Declaration.
