Is the military doing enough to protect bases from sea level rise and other natural disasters?
March 29, 2021
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) concluded that 53 military bases face current threats from recurrent flooding.
The list includes Langley Air Force Base, Naval Air Station Oceana, Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads, and, Naval Station Norfolk.
"Hampton Roads is particularly at risk because of sea-level rise," said Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Virginia, 2nd District).
For the past decade, the DoD has acknowledged climate change as a threat to the readiness of its installations. It spent $67 million in 2020 to help bases that are vulnerable to flooding, hurricanes, and wildfires work with their surrounding communities on projects that would prevent damage.
