Norfolk Resilience Project
Norfolk’s Resilience Site
The City of Norfolk is increasingly at risk of flooding and damage from coastal storms. Norfolk has one of the highest rates of relative sea level rise (RSLR) among Atlantic coastal communities. The Resilient Norfolk Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) Project will reduce the city’s risk from coastal flooding and damage from nor’easters, hurricanes, and other significant storm events.
Our goal is to design the coastal community of the future.The CSRM project includes structural, property-specific, nonstructural, and natural and nature-based features. These features are a result of the cost-benefit analysis and findings from the Coastal Storm Risk Management Feasibility Study, conducted by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and City from 2016-2019.
Each phase of the project is being designed and the public will have opportunities to provide input before construction.
Elizabeth Park Work
Houses in Elizabeth Park and neighboring communities are primarily outside of the structural work (floodwalls, gates, etc.) and will require non-structural work. This means house elevation, basement fills, and water proofing for commercial or larger buildings.
Norfolk has a site to show you whether your home is on the list and also what Tier it fits into. Tiers go from 1-4. Tier 1 homes will be first, and later tiers will follow.
For questions on the work to be done, see the Resilience Project FAQ Page.
You can use Norfolk’s Resilience Project Page to search or view the status of your residence to see if you are on the pre-eligibility list.

You can zoom in on the map to see homes that are marked as on the pre-eligibility list.
White dots are Tier 1 homes. Blue dots are Tier 2-4 homes.
Homes without a dot are not on the pre-eligibility list.
