Attendees listen as Rear Admiral Ann Phillips, special assistant to the governor for coastal adaptation and protection, explains her team's goals for the Virginia Coastal Resilience Master Plan (CRMP) during a public meeting held at the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission in Chesapeake, Va. on Aug. 5, 2021. Eight town hall meetings were held throughout coastal Virginia, providing community members with the opportunity to give input towards the CRMP. Local attendees used maps to chart out frequent flooding zones and shared their other concerns with the Governor's office, architecture firm Dewberry, and other state agencies.
