Chesapeake Child Abuse Reporting Hotline

With the lack of in-person interaction between kids and their teachers while virtual learning, there are concerns that child abuse and neglect could go unnoticed or unreported. If you suspect abuse in a child you know, call the Chesapeake Child Abuse Reporting Hotline at 757-382-2020.

Hurricane Emergency Kits

Do you have your emergency kit ready? You should have enough supplies to last you and everyone in your household (including your pets!) for at least three days. For a comprehensive list of items that should be in your kit visit Ready.gov/Kit.

Know Your Risk

If you live in Chesapeake, you’re at risk to experience flooding. Period. That’s why everyone in Chesapeake should have flood insurance. You can learn more about flooding in our region at GetFloodFluent.org. Learn about flood insurance at FloodSmart.gov or contact your local insurance agent.
