In 2016, Dominion awarded a grant to The Arc Southern Maryland to help provide “Shelter in Place” emergency supplies that would sustain the individuals and staff at all of our residential sites for up to three days during events such as flooding, hurricanes, power outage, etc. Supplies included Meals Ready to Eat (MREs), water, hand-crank radios, and hand-crank food processors for the homes with individuals requiring a special diet of pureed food.
