NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Virginia officials want to hear how Hampton Roads should prepare for rising seas.
The region is considered among the most vulnerable in the United States.
Virginia is attempting to get a portion of the $800 million available through the National Disaster Resiliency Competition sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development.
Specific projects could include elevating structures, building flood walls and tide gates and improving infrastructure and transportation.
Hampton Roads residents will have the opportunity to voice their opinions at a meeting Tuesday at Old Dominion University in Norfolk.
