+Naval Support Activity Annapolis (NSAA), home of the United States Naval Academy (USNA), 
+is located at the confluence of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay.
+The campus is vulnerable to storm surge associated with major weather events as well as
+localized, nuisance flooding that is primarily the result of high tides and 
+sustained easterly or southerly winds. Since 1929, the relative sea level in Annapolis 
+has risen approximately 1.06 ft, which has significantly increased the occurrences 
+of nuisance flooding from 2-3 times per year to 30-40 times per year and 
+left USNA more vulnerable to major storms such as Hurricane Isabel in 2003. 
+Impacts from storm surges and nuisance flooding affect daily operations through
+ closures of flooded roads, sidewalks and building entry points. 
+With greater frequency and increased amounts of water, the negative impacts 
+are being increasingly felt throughout USNA operations. Long-term impact, 
+without future action, places many of USNA’s buildings and monuments as well as the 
+effective execution of the mission of the Academy at risk.
