From YouTube: Designed for Disaster: The Impact of State and Federal Policies on Military Installation Resilience
Description
This webinar described the challenges that military installations and the states in which they operate are facing due to changing environmental conditions. It also explored policies and programs at all levels to more effectively plan for and respond to extreme weather-related events in the future.
A
I
am
a
program
principal
in
ncsl's,
environment,
energy
and
transportation
program
and
staff
to
the
task
force
on
military
and
veterans
affairs.
First,
I
have
a
few
housekeeping
items.
Today's
webinar
is
a
platform
for
information
exchange
and
engagement
over
the
next
60
minutes.
We
encourage
participation
through
our
chat
box,
which
is
found
in
the
lower
left
hand
corner
of
your
screen.
A
A
A
This
is
the
first
in
what
will
hopefully
become
a
series
of
webinars
sponsored
by
mcsl's
task
force
on
military
and
veterans
affairs.
The
task
force
is
a
group
of
state
legislators
and
legislative
staff
from
around
the
country
that
examine
a
whole
host
of
issues
affecting
military
community
relations
and
the
lives
of
service
members
veterans
and
their
families.
A
Over
the
next
hour,
our
speakers
will
describe
the
challenges
that
military
installations
and
the
states
in
which
they
operate
are
facing
due
to
changing
environmental
conditions.
We
will
also
explore
policies
and
programs
at
all
levels
to
more
effectively
plan
for
and
respond
to
disasters
in
the
future.
Joining
us
today
are
kristin
thomasguard,
ann
phillips
and
ben
mcfarland.
A
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
up
first
is
kristin
thomasguard.
Since
2013
she
has
served
as
the
program
director
for
the
dod
reppy
program,
which
links
communities,
land
preservation
and
national
defense.
She
also
serves
as
the
federal
chair
for
the
sentinel
landscapes,
partnership
and
acts
as
a
dod
doi
liaison
enhancing
coordination
between
the
department.
A
B
Thank
you
so
much
jen
good
afternoon,
everyone
as
jen
indicated.
I
am
kristin
thomas
gard
program
director
for
the
dod
refu
program,
and
I
would
like
to
thank
ncsl
for
the
gracious
invitation
to
talk
with
you
today
about
some
different
tools
and
resources
that
help
to
enhance
military
installation
resilience,
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
everyone
who
is
participating,
you're
all
key
partners
to
dod,
and
I
very
much
appreciate
what
you're
doing
every
day
in
your
states.
C
G
E
H
B
Over
350
threatened
and
endangered
species
on
that
same
land,
we
have
the
requirement
to
use
the
land
and
airspace
to
ensure
that
about
1
million
men
and
women
in
uniform,
get
the
best
possible
training
and
preparation
to
do
the
jobs
they
have
volunteered
to
do.
What
this
means
is
that
we
need
resilient
and
varied
environments,
different
terrains,
different
climates,
that
support
our
military
training
and
testing
activities,
and
we
need
to
ensure
safe
spaces
for
testing
new
vehicles
and
aircraft
equipment
and
systems.
B
However,
when
we
train
test
and
operate,
we
make
noise,
sometimes
a
little
noise,
sometimes
quite
a
bit
of
noise.
We
create
dust
and
smoke
things
that
our
neighbors
don't
always
like.
We
also
need
dark
skies
and
buffer
areas
around
our
training
and
operating
areas
to
ensure
the
safety
of
our
neighbors
and
the
safety
of
the
men
and
women
who
are
conducting
these
training
activities.
B
So
they
aren't
forced
to
seek
shelter
on
military
lands
due
to
unchecked
development,
but
bottom
line.
We
are
part
of
communities,
cities,
counties
and
states,
and
not
only
do
we
want
to
be
good
neighbors,
but
we
also
want
to
ensure
a
high
quality
of
life
for
our
military
members
and
their
families.
That
means
sustainable
communities,
a
healthy
environment
and
opportunities
for
recreation,
things
that
are
also
important
to
our
partners.
B
The
reppy
supports
projects
all
across
the
country
in
a
wide
diversity
of
landscapes
and
with
a
wide
array
of
partners,
many
conservation
and
land
trust
organizations,
as
well
as
federal
and
state
agencies
and
numerous
counties
and
local
communities
all
dependent
on
voluntary
private
landowner.
Participation.
B
The
partnership
carries
out
its
mission
by
connecting
private
landowners
around
military
installations
and
ranges
with
government
assistance
programs
that
offset
the
cost
of
implementing
sustainable
management
practices
and
conservation
projects.
There
are
currently
seven
sentinel
landscapes
across
the
country
that
are
anchored
by
19
military
installations,
which
are
depicted
on
this
map
by
the
blue
dots.
These
landscape
partnerships
have
attracted
over
405
million
in
federal
funds,
169
million
in
state
funds
and
95
million
in
local
and
private
funds.
B
Programs,
so
now
that
we've
talked
about
where
we're
currently
partnering,
I
want
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
how
reppy
partnerships
work.
We
have
an
authority
from
congress
10
usd
2684a
to
enter
into
cost-sharing
partnerships
with
state
and
local
governments,
land
trusts
and
other
conservation
focused
organizations
to
acquire
real
estate
interests.
Those
can
be
easements
or
fee
acquisitions
from
willing
landowners
for
the
purpose
of
promoting
compatible
land,
use,
preserving
or
restoring
important
habitat
and
natural
resources
and
for
promoting
military
installation
resilience.
B
There
are
four
key
elements
to
every
reppy
partnership:
first,
an
eligible
entity.
This
can
be
a
state,
a
political
subdivision
of
a
state
or
a
private
entity
that
has
a
stated
organizational
purpose
or
goal
of
conservation.
These
can
be
501
c,
3,
nonprofits
or
for-profit
conservation
organizations.
B
Second,
we
need
to
have
a
partner
cost
share
and
this
can
take
a
variety
of
forms.
It
could
be
a
monetary
contribution
from
a
state
or
local
grant
or
cost
share
program,
other
federal
grants
or
private
capital.
It
could
also
be
an
exchange
or
donation
of
real
property
or
a
real
property
interest
or
an
in-kind
service.
This
might.
G
B
A
good
or
service
inherent
to
the
acquisition
of
real
property
interests
could
be
legal
support
or
other
natural
resource
related
services.
There
is
no
minimum
cost
share
requirement,
but
services
may
have
targets.
The
department
of
navy,
for
example,
does
require
a
50
cost
share
for
most
of
their
projects.
Third,
we
require
a
willing
land
owner.
All
refe
partnerships
are
voluntary
and
then
fourth,
we
do
require
the
ability
to
enforce
the
real
estate
interest
acquired
as
envisioned
in
the
statutory
authority.
B
The
eligible
entity
generally
is
expected
to
hold
title
to
an
easement
subject
to
the
right
of
the
military
department
to
demand
conveyance
of
a
portion
of
the
property
interest
necessary
to
ensure
the
property
stays
compatible.
We
often
refer
to
this
as
the
demand
right
section.
2684A
was
never
intended
to
be
a
real
property
acquisition
authority,
but
the
navy
has
historically
exercised
this
right
at
the
time
of.
B
Closure,
because
this
is
an
authority
that
is
extremely
dependent
upon
partnership
and
leverage.
All
of
the
work
that
we
do
in
the
rep
program
is
not
only
resourced
by
dod
funds
appropriated
by
congress,
but
also
through
non-dod
partner
funds
over
975
million
dollars
through
the
end
of
fy
20,
to
be
exact.
B
This
allows
the
recipient
of
refugee
funds
to
use
these
funds
as
a
match
or
cost
share
requirement
for
any
federal
conservation
or
resilience
program.
Previously,
you
may
have
heard
us
talk
about
the
funds
as
match
authority
pertaining
to
programs
within
the
u.s
department
of
agriculture
or
department
of
the
interior
and
in
fy
21.
That
has
been
expanded
to
all
federal
programs.
This
creates
a
tremendous
opportunity
for
us
to
work
with
other
federal
agencies
such
as
fema
noaa
epa
and
the
army
corps
of
engineers.
B
B
All
partners
at
dod
installations-
and
we
are
currently
in
the
process
right
now,
of
reviewing
the
pre-proposals
that
we
received
at
the
end
of
november,
so
we
will
be
making
further
decisions
in
the
coming
months
and
requesting
full
proposals
from
partners
before
I
close
out
today.
I
do
just
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
a
couple
of
other
key
dod
programs
that
do
play
a
critical
role
in
helping
to
enhance
resilience
and
ensure
compatible
land
use
around
our
installations
and
ranges.
B
State
counties.
Municipalities
are
all
welcome
to
apply
under
two
program
categories:
one
focus
on
compatible
use
or
what
used
to
be
called
joint
land
use
studies
and
another
opportunity
focus
on
military
installation
resilience.
Oea
is
considering
proposals
for
these
programs
on
a
continual
basis,
and
you
can
certainly
find
more
information
on
oea's
website.
B
This
is
a
one-stop
shop
for
reviewing
energy
and
energy
infrastructure
projects
and
working
with
energy
developers,
federal
agencies
and
state
and
local
governments
to
ensure
projects
are
compatible
with
military
test,
training
and
operational
activities.
The
clearinghouse
conducts
both
formal
and
informal
project
reviews
and
looks
forward
to
working
proactively
with
state
and
local
governments
or
developers
to
assist
in
energy
project
planning.
B
And
my
final
slide
really
just
highlighting
some
ways
that
you
can
get
involved
with
the
programs
that
I
discussed
today
really
would
encourage
folks
to
visit
our
website
to
learn
more
about
existing
projects
and
opportunities,
and
you
can
also
contact
each
of
the
programs
I
mentioned
through
these
websites.
I
would
call
your
attention
to
the
reppy
website
and
a
new
resilient
page
that
we
have
included
there.
We
have
a
number
of
resources
as
well
as
recorded
webinars,
that
we
have
hosted
over
the
last
several
months.
B
You
can
also
link
to
a
reppy
mapping
tool
through
the
reppy
website,
where
you
can
zoom
in
on
all
of
our
active
project
locations
and
see
individual
partnership
opportunity
areas
as
well
as
a
lot
of
additional
data
layers
for
regionally
specific
issues
and
on
the
sentinel
landscapes
website.
I
would
draw
your
attention
to
a
landowner
resources
tool
which
makes
it
easier
for
landowners
and
partners
to
find
voluntary
state
and
federal
landowner
assistance
programs
if
you're
interested
in
any
of
the
oea
programs.
B
A
Thank
you
kristen.
I
think
you've
highlighted
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
states
to
explore
and
I
think
I
can
speak
for
everyone
that
that
videos
is
really
well
done
as
a
reminder
to
the
audience.
You
can
type
your
questions
in
the
chat
box
in
the
lower
left
of
your
screen
at
any
time
and
we'll
answer
those
at
the
end.
A
Moving
ahead.
Our
next
speaker
is
ann
phillips,
special
assistant
to
the
governor
for
coastal
adaptation
and
protection
for
the
commonwealth
of
virginia
prior
to
joining
the
northam
administration.
She
worked
to
address
sea
level
rise
and
its
impact
on
national
security
at
the
regional,
national
and
international
levels.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
jennifer
and
good
afternoon
everyone
good
morning,
depending
on
where
you
are
thank
you
to
the
national
conference
of
state
legislators
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
today
about
coastal
adaptation
and
protection
and
resilience
in
the
commonwealth
of
virginia
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we
are
doing
to
address
resilience
broadly,
particularly
in
coastal
virginia
from
the
state's
perspective,
and
to
set
the
stage
a
little
bit
as
we
get
going
just
a
few
facts
about
the
commonwealth.
In
the
event
that
you
have
never
been
to
virginia.
H
A
H
H
A
few
more
things
about
the
commonwealth:
what's
at
stake,
what's
the
risk
for
us
here?
Well,
we
have
over
10
000
miles
of
tidally,
influenced
shoreline
in
the
commonwealth
and
that's
a
virginia
institute
of
marine
science
number.
We
have
the
eighth
longest
shoreline
coastline
behind
texas,
using
noaa's
data.
H
We
have
one
of
the
fastest
rates
of
relative
change
of
sea
level,
rise
on
the
east
coast,
4.7
millimeters
per
year.
Right
now,
and
we
have
a
subsidence
problem.
So,
in
addition
to
the
waters
rising,
our
land
is
sinking
if
it
were
consistent
everywhere.
That
would
be
one
circumstance,
but
of
course
it
is
not.
H
H
We
are
also
the
largest
coal
export
point
on
the
east
coast
of
the
united
states
and
as
a
contrast
to
that,
we
have
lovely
and
extensive
natural
living,
shorelines,
open,
marshlands
fisheries,
a
fishing
industry
and
and
all
the
other
coastal
activities
that
go
with
such
an
intricate
and
and
lengthy
shoreline.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
challenges
here
and
we
have
a
lot
of
opportunities.
H
They
have
taken
action
sooner.
They
are
in
the
crosshairs
of
the
challenge,
and
so
the
state's
opportunity
now
is
what
do
we
do
at
the
state
level
to
assist,
to
provide
guidance,
to
provide
legislative
support
for
opportunities
and
outcomes
that
the
localities
and
planning
districts
need
to
be
able
to
move
forward
to
protect
and
adapt
our
infrastructure
governor
northam
signed
executive
order
24
in
november
of
2018,
which
directed
the
creation
of
a
coastal
resilience
master
plan.
H
He
signed
executive
order
45,
which
directed
followed
up
on
executive
order
24
and
set
standards,
as
directed
by
executive
order
24
for
state-owned
buildings
regarding
future
sea
level,
rise,
construction
planning
and
elevation
standards.
We
are
now
working
within
the
commonwealth
to
make
those
standards
apply
across
state
infrastructure
at
all
levels
beyond
buildings,
so
any
other
state
infrastructure
that
we
would
consider.
H
H
We
have
had
opportunities
within
the
past
year
to
take
additional
steps
regarding
legislative
changes
to
help
us
move
forward.
I
would
I
would
like
to
say
that
all
of
these
were
bipartisan
legislative
solutions.
Some
were,
and
some
were
not,
but
most
specifically,
we
have
now
established
a
chief
resilience
officer
in
code.
H
We
have
joined
the
regional
greenhouse
gas
initiative
and
we
will
officially
become
a
member.
As
the
11th
state
january
1st
of
2021,
we
will
be
able
to
use
income
generated
through
the
sale
of
carbon
credits
from
that
process,
from
joining
reggie
to
support
both
a
community
flood
preparedness
fund,
45
of
the
money
will
go
there,
a
statewide
fund
and
an
energy
efficiency
fund.
Fifty
percent
of
the
money
will
go
there.
H
The
other
five
percent
is
split
between
two
state
agencies
who
will
be
managing
both
the
participation
in
reggie
and
the
energy
efficiency
fund,
and
the
agency,
that's
managing
the
flood
fund
will
be
able
to
establish
support
through
our
virginia
resources
authority
to
help
them
manage
that
fund.
So
this
has
been
a
sea
change
for
us.
H
In
october
of
this
year,
october,
22nd
governor
northam
signed
our
first
step
towards
creating
a
full-scale
master
plan
and
planning
process.
Virginia's
coaster
resilience,
master
planning
framework
sets
out
the
processes,
goals
and
guidelines
by
which
we
will
develop
for
the
commonwealth.
A
sustainable
process
to
prioritize
and
evaluate
projects
understand
through
a
full
coastal
assessment.
What
our
risks
and
vulnerabilities
are
again
back
to
the
localities.
H
H
H
In
that
context,
focusing
on
our
our
collaboration
with
the
department
of
defense
and
you'll,
see
more
on
this
from
from
mr
mcfarlane.
In
a
few
minutes,
virginia
has
been
an
active
participant
in
the
reppy
program
in
the
joint
land
use
program,
working
with
the
office
of
economic
adjustment
and
we've.
We
have
participated
in
the
defense
access
roads
program
and
are
very
interested
in
the
defense
community
infrastructure
program
as
well.
H
H
virginia
has
actively
engaged
our
federal
congressional
representatives
to
and
and
senators
to
assist
with
this,
and
also
our
legislature,
our
state
legislature,
to
assist
with
this
kind
of
change,
to
give
more
flexibility
and
capacity.
Now
our
challenge
as
a
commonwealth
is:
how
will
we
take
advantage
of
that?
How
will
we
focus
our
efforts?
H
We
are
also
preparing
an
application
for
sentinel
landscapes.
We
have
not
so
far.
Virginia
does
not
have
a
center
landscape
program,
designation,
we're
surrounded
or
bookended
by
states
that
do
north
carolina
and
maryland.
So
we
have
an
opportunity
to
create
an
expanded
corridor
which
we
think
will
add
value
both
for
our
own
program,
but
for
other
states
around
us
as
well.
H
We
have
an
opportunity
to
expand
on
conservation
and
resilience
thanks
to
new
authorizations
within
the
national
defense.
Authorization
acts
over
the
past
few
years,
and
so
our
challenge
will
be.
Can
we
put
together
an
input
that
will
be
satisfactory
and
give
us
this
opportunity
so
all
very
much
in
progress
here,
but
certainly
something?
That's
that's
getting
that's
getting
attention
and
something
we'd
like
to
take
advantage
of.
H
We
have
again,
as
I
said,
we've
done
a
lot
with
reppy,
but
we
have
not
focused
those
efforts.
We've
had
great
partnerships,
but
we,
you
know
if
a
locality
and
a
facility
have
created
a
partnership,
they
have
moved
forward.
But
in
some
cases
we
have
to
ask
ourselves
is
that
where
we
really
want
to
focus
not
that
that
can't
move
forward,
but
let's
target
areas
where
we
know
there
is
a
need,
we
hope
sentinel
landscapes
will
help
us
do
that.
H
Finally,
as
I
close,
our
focus
is
about
building
capacity,
building
capacity
for
our
communities,
building
capacity
for
our
federal
partners,
and
we
realize
that
those
two
needs
are
inextricably
linked,
and
so
whatever
we
do,
we
have
to
work
forward
with
our
military
partners
and
whatever
they
do.
We
would
like
them
to
work
and
move
forward
with
us
as
well.
A
A
E
A
I
I
want
to
thank
anne
and
kristen
for
their
presentations
and
their
remarks,
and
so
this
afternoon
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we
have
worked
with
our
installations
here
in
hampton
roads
to
advance
the
cause
of
resiliency
for
our
communities
here
in
southeastern
virginia
for
those
of
you
that
are
not
familiar
with
our
area.
Hampton
roads
is
the
the
name
that
we've
given
ourselves
here.
I
I
We
work
with
them
with
our
communities
on
a
wide
variety
of
issues
and
military
coordination
resiliency.
These
are
all
some
some
of
the
things
that
I
specialize
in
here
at
the
pdc.
Our
organization
has
two
primary
roles.
One
is
to
serve
as
a
forum
for
appointed
and
elected
officials
from
each
of
our
our
jurisdictions,
so
they
have
an
opportunity
to
come
together
and
talk
about
issues
of
greater
than
local
concern.
I
I
Today
we
have
the
fortune,
as
ann
mentioned
in
her
remarks,
to
be
the
site,
the
home
of
several
different
federal
facilities
and
military
facilities.
We
are
home
to
the
largest
naval
base
in
the
world,
but
we're
also
home
to
a
number
of
other
installations
from
each
of
the
services.
So
so
for
us,
you
know
we
are
a
proud
military
community.
I
We
are.
Are
it's
tied
to
our
history?
Many
of
our
residents
are
directly
involved
with
the
military
either
having
served
or
been
a
family,
member
or
retirees,
and
so
for
us.
Protecting
these
assets
and
making
sure
that
they
can
continue
with
their
mission
is
important
and
you
may
notice
from
the
map
there
that
many
of
those
installations
that
we
have
are
located
on
coastal
on
coasts
on
coastlines.
So
that's
not
just
the
navy
installations.
We
have
army
facilities
that
are
present
on
the
shore.
We
have
air
force
facilities,
coast
guard.
I
So,
for
us,
this
is
an
issue
with
resiliency,
where
our
continued
partnership
with
the
military
as
an
economic
as
a
part
of
our
regional
economy
is,
is
intertwined
with
our
challenge
of
trying
to
address
sea
level
rise
and
other
climate
change
impacts
in
hampton
roads.
As
man
mentioned,
we
are
the
location
for
the
highest
rate
of
relative
sea
level
rise
on
the
east
coast.
I
I
We've
already
noticed
that
flooding
is
becoming
more
and
more
frequent
when
you
look
at
the
different
projections
of
sea
level
rise,
and
this
here.
This
map
here
shows
one
of
our
regional
planning
scenarios
of
three
feet
which
we're
projecting
to
be
somewhere
between
2050
and
2080,
that
a
significant
number
of
our
coastlines
and
other
near
coast
areas
are
going
to
be
affected
either
by
by
daily
flooding
or
by
some
combination
of
more
frequent
flooding
and
inundation.
I
Many
of
these
areas
you
can
we,
I
guess,
if
you
recall,
the
previous
map
are
also
the
locations
for
several
of
those
installations,
so
so
coming
up
with
strategies
to
address
community
resiliency
and
installation.
Resiliency
is
for
us,
it's
a
you
know,
there's
there's
not
one
without
the
other
installation.
Resilience
for
us
is
community
resilience,
and
the
same
also
applies
for
us.
We've
seen,
I
guess
can
be
both
good
and
bad.
I
I
So
what's
a
joint
land,
you
study
for
those
of
you
who
aren't
very
familiar
with
this.
I
know
kristin
talked
about
it
in
her
remarks
and
then
and
mentioned
it
as
well.
Joint
land
use
studies,
they're
kind
of
they're,
a
unique
aspect.
I
think,
of
what
the
department
of
defense
does
and
the
office
of
economic
adjustment
do.
I
They
are
a
community
driven
planning
process.
So
I
want
to
highlight
that
raise
their
community
driven.
These
are
not
plans
that
the
military
is
doing
for
a
locality
or
community.
There
are
resources
that
the
dod
provides
to
loca
to
local
communities
or
states
to
do
planning
that
will
then
have
the
benefit
of
of
in
court,
of
allowing
the
military
to
participate
in
the
process,
but
to
identify
and
address
issues
that
are
occurring
outside
of
the
fence
line
that
will
have
a
negative
impact
on
military
operations.
I
I
I
you
know
you'd
like
to
think
that
that
these
kinds
of
collaboration
happen
all
the
time
for
a
wide
variety
of
issues,
not
just
between
militaries
or
the
military
installations
and
localities,
but
stakeholders
of
all
types.
But
in
practice
I
think
what
I
have
found
and
what
you
know
many
other
or
folks
have
come
across
is
that
collaboration
is
hard
work
and
sometimes
it's
easier
just
to
go
and
kind
of
go
it
alone.
I
Until
something
comes
up
that
becomes
more
problematic
and
where
you
would
be
where
you
would
have
to
actually
engage
somebody,
and
that's
not
to
say
that
it's
bad
to
do
it
that
way,
it's
just
that
it.
It
makes
it
a
little
bit
more
challenging
to
address
issues
when
collaboration
is
not
is
not
baked
into
the
process,
and
so
for
this
we
see
that
the
jayluce
or
the
joint
land.
You
study
as
a
really
good
opportunity
to
encourage
people
stakeholders
on
both
on
both
sides
of
the
fence
to
adopt
better
habits.
I
I
think
when
it
comes
to
communicating
and
working
with
each
other,
so
what
do
they
do?
So
we
we
build
on
existing
efforts.
With
these
studies
we
bring
together
the
military
and
the
communities
to
discuss
kind
of
what
those
identified
issues
are
and
how
they
may
have
effects,
or
they
may
affect
military
operations
and
readiness
like
I
said
there
are
unique
opportunities
to
get
the
official
involvement
from
the
dod.
I
In
many
cases,
dod
personnel
are
restricted
by
federal
laws
or
ethics
regulations
from
directly
participating
to
a
to
a
great
extent
in
other
local
and
regional
planning
processes
and
so
having
this.
This
process
here
is
a
good
way
to
kind
of
work
around
some
of
those
restrictions
and
have
more
frank
conversations.
I
I
think
some
of
the
I
guess
we're
missing
a
few
of
the
graphics
here.
So
some
of
the
issues
with
like
when
we
work
with
installations.
We
just
have
these
natural
conflicts
that
pop
up
and
that's
just
you
know,
installations
are
have
their
own
kind
of
separate
way
of
looking
at
things
and
communities.
Do
the
same,
we
have
these
issues
with
understanding,
with
lack
of
information,
different
values
on
different,
certainly
different
priorities
and
those
can
present
conflicts.
They
can
also
present
opportunities
and
I
think
what
we
have
found
in
our
joint
land.
I
You
study
experiences
is
that
when
we
look
at
that
with
from
that
kind
of
positive
perspective,
it
really
helps
our
communities
to
kind
of
come
together
with
the
installations
to
identify
potential
actions
that
would
have
benefits
to
both
parties
in
hampton
roads.
Over
the
last
several
years
we
have
engaged
in
a
number
of
joint
land.
You
study
efforts.
We
have
on
the
peninsula,
I
like
to
say
one
and
a
half
joint
land
use
studies.
I
Most
recently,
there
was
a
study,
a
comprehensive
study
done
for
the
fort
eustis
section
of
joint
base,
langley
eustis
within
a
further
addendum
to
a
previous
study
that
was
done
for
langley
air
force
base.
That
addendum
was
focused
almost
entirely
on
resilience,
which
was
very
exciting
personally
and
professionally.
Here
at
the
pdc,
we
had
a
direct
role
in
two
joint
land
use
studies
for
one
for
norfolk
and
virginia
beach,
and
then
one
for
portsmouth
and
chesapeake
that
second
one
is
actually
currently
underway.
I
So
we
have
invested
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
our
resources
and
we've
had
a
bit.
The
advantage
of
you
know
the
fortune
to
have
resources
given
to
us
by
by
the
dod,
to
engage
in
these
efforts
on
both
sides
of
the
waterfront
house
here
in
hampton
roads,
and
I
think
that
those
discussions
and
planning
efforts
have
had
a
number
of
positive
impacts
for
one
these
processes,
these
studies,
if
you've,
never
been
through
one,
they
really
do
present.
I
I
They
really
do
give
you
some
some
good
information
to
act
on
when
it
comes
to
prioritizing
projects
that
the
top
two
that
we
identified
were
these
corridor
studies
that
need
to
be
done.
The
first
one
in
hampton
boulevard,
that's
in
the
city
of
norfolk,
that
provides
direct
access
to
a
number
of
installations,
including
naval
station
norfolk
and
then
another
corridor
in
the
city
of
virginia
beach.
That
provides
direct
connection
between
the
two
halves
of
joint
expeditionary-based,
little
creek
fort
story
and
so
for
more
information.
I
I've
left
the
links
for
the
three,
the
different
studies
that
have
been
done
here
over
the
last
several
years
on
the
slide
here,
but
I
would
just
say
that
you
know
moving
forward.
We
have
a
lot
of
plans,
a
lot
of
hope
for
implementing
a
number
of
these
studies,
maybe
we'll
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
some
of
those
federal
federal
programs
that
have
been
talked
about
today,
reppy
and
dsip
in
the
bric
program
as
well
from
fema,
but
I
think
moving
forward.
I
A
Taking
a
proactive
approach,
we
will
now
move
into
the
question
and
answer
portion
of
the
webinar.
If
you
have
a
question,
please
type
it
in
the
box
on
the
left,
I'm
scrolling
through.
I
see
that
kristen
responded
to
a
couple
questions
already,
which
is
great
here,
is
one
for
you
and,
I
believe,
is
there
a
viable
plan
for
virginia
to
protect
and
preserve
tangier
island.
H
That's
an
excellent
question.
Of
course,
tangier
has
been
hot
under
some
circumstances.
In
the
news.
Quite
a
bit.
Excellent
book
came
out
about
the
the
island
of
the
islanders.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
chesapeake
requiem
by
earl,
swift
and,
and
so
tangier
island
is,
is
a
long
standing
community
for
those
who
don't
know
between
it's
in
the
bay
as
to
the
west
of
the
eastern
shore
up
near
the
top.
H
It
has
a
partner
in
maryland
smith,
island
they're
right
there
together,
it
is,
it
is
low,
it
is,
it
is
sinking
and
it
is
home
to
a
very
unique
community
of
watermen
who
have
lived
there
for
100
over
a
hundred
plus
years
as
bay
islanders.
They
know
what
happens
to
islands
in
the
chesapeake
bay
and
they've,
seen
other
islands
around
them
over
time
disappear
and
also
on
the
eastern
shore.
H
We
have
a
larger
set
of
barrier
islands
untouched
at
present
on
the
east
side
of
the
eastern
shore
and
and
communities
have
moved
off
of
those
islands
over
the
years
onto
the
mainland,
as
the
islands
moved
and
as
the
circumstances
required.
So
tangier
is
dealing
with
some
of
those
challenges
and
they
will
have
to
make
decisions
in
their
future.
H
A
A
E
H
Audience
I'll
I'll
jump
in
quickly
jennifer.
My
takeaway
is
that
military
resilience
and
the
resilience
of
the
surrounding
communities
is
a
non-partisan
issue.
The
challenges
affect
everyone,
and
so
the
more
we
can
move
forward
collectively
in
a
in
a
non-partisan
way,
in
a
bipartisan
way.
The
more
likely
we
are
to
have
success
and
and
retain
our
national
security,
our
critical
national
security
infrastructure,
so
that
that
would
be
my
takeaway.
I
So
I
would,
I
would
just
throw
in
that
capacity
is
extremely
important
when
it
comes
to
not
just
coming
up
with
plans,
but
also
implementing
them,
and
if
you
don't
have
the
resources
to
identify
projects
or
actions,
then
it's
really
hard
to
actually
implement
those
those
projects
and
actions
and
unfortunately,
over
you
know
the
last
at
least
in
virginia
over
the
last.
You
know
few
decades
that
the
resources
that
localities
and
planning
districts
get
for
for
just
basic
planning
capacity
have
decreased
those
resources
from
the
state.
So
those
are
those
are
important
they
do
have.
B
And
jen
this
is
kristin.
I
apologize.
I
was
having
some
mute
issues
I
am
still
here.
I
would.
I
would
really
echo
some
of
the
things
that
admiral,
phillips
and-
and
others
have
indicated,
that
this
really
is
about
about
really
coordination,
partnership
and
and
capacity
building.
I
think
what
we
hear
on
this.
C
B
B
You
know
we
have
to
recognize
that
it
doesn't
stop
at
our
fence
line
and
the
same
for
a
community.
A
community
effort
can't
stop
at
the
fence
line.
We
really
have
to
have
that
dialogue
across
the
fence
line
and
that's
what's
going
to
to
really
help
us
achieve
the
results
that
that
we're
seeking
to
achieve
and
ultimately
protect,
all
of
our
collective
interests
and
missions.
A
Thank
you,
everyone
and
seeing
that
we're
almost
out
of
time,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
wrap
up.
If
you've
asked
the
question
in
the
chat
box,
we
will
absolutely
be
sure
to
reach
out
to
you
via
email,
with
answers
to
those
I'd
like
to
extend
a
final.
Thank
you
to
our
presenters.
We
greatly
appreciate
the
expertise
each
of
you
are
able
to
provide,
and
thanks
to
all
of
our
attendees
for
participating.
