Is Your Community Prepared for an Emergency?
Natural disasters, particularly flood events, can leave behind standing and stagnant water, increasing public health risks by creating conditions that fuel mosquito population surges in the aftermath of storms. By planning ahead, you can ensure a faster, more coordinated response that helps protect public health when emergencies strike.
For more than 20 years, VDCI has partnered with local, state, and national agencies to deliver proven aerial emergency response programs. Our team combines deep expertise with precision operations to help communities prepare, respond, and recover.

Every community should prepare for natural disasters and disease outbreaks as part of their plan to protect public health.
When emergencies strike, VDCI is ready. Whether you’re preparing in advance or activating a response now, our team has the experience and capacity to protect your community.

Our History in Emergency Response Mosquito Management Started with Hurricane Bonnie in 1998.
Our team can help your community create an emergency response contingency plan for mosquito control efforts after a hurricane, major flood event, or increased disease activity. The VDCI team will be able to walk you through every step of a responsible mosquito control plan. This preparation will provide more time for your community to focus on the unexpected and natural results of a disaster that cannot be planned for in advance. Our team can assist with local, state, and government coordination as well as assist with other challenging aspects of emergency response mosquito control – such as navigating FEMA funding or preparing for community and media questions.
Our experienced emergency response team is able to support a community’s goal to reduce mosquito populations and bring much-needed relief to a displaced public and relief workers.
In 2016, VDCI was contracted to support the CDC’s public health efforts to defend the population in several U.S. territories against the threat of Zika. The spotlight on Zika virus acted as the catalyst for a greater understanding of mosquitoes and the diseases they can transmit. Visit the Vector-Borne Diseases section of the VDCI website to learn about the origins, symptoms, and vectors of several mosquito-borne diseases.
If your community does not have an emergency response contingency plan in place for mosquito control, contact us to learn more about how we can help you prepare for the unexpected.
