Rear Admiral Ann Phillips, who serves as Special Assistant to the Governor of Virginia for Coastal Adaptation and Protection, talks to EESI about the need for resilience in coastal communities such as Virginia's Hampton Roads and Norfolk, which is home to the world's largest naval base.

Resilience is critical for U.S. military preparedness and for our national security.
