As Hurricanes Helene and Milton break records in Florida, the Carolinas and southwest Virginia, Norfolk is trying to prepare for its next 100-year storm. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is close to finalizing the Phase 1A designs of its Coastal Storm Risk Management project for Norfolk, where the sea level is rising faster than anywhere else on the East Coast. Miscommunication between residents and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has created friction, while the city races to complete the project before a 100-year flood eventually hits. Residents have ongoing questions as more drafts from the Corps come to fruition.
