NOTICE – PUBLIC INPUT NEEDED ON POTENTIAL OFFSHORE OIL and GAS DRILLING
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ENDS JUNE 16, 2025
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is currently seeking public input on its upcoming 11th National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program, which could expand offshore oil and gas drilling near our coast. Please see this link for more details.
Virginia's economy and quality of life rely heavily on clean beaches, healthy waterways, tourism, and fishing industries. Offshore drilling threatens these pillars. Even the perception of risk from drilling activities can harm tourism, property values, and investment in our coastal economies. A major spill would have devastating, long-lasting impacts on local businesses, families, and livelihoods.
In 2018, Urbanna Town Council passed a resolution opposing offshore drilling. This was critical for BOEM and agency staff to determine when and where new drilling would be proposed or approved.
We encourage citizens to submit a comment letter to BOEM and contact your federally elected officials on this matter.
How you can take action:
- Upload and submit a letter to BOEM at this website.
- Send copies to your Members of Congress

Middle Peninsula All Hazards Mitigation Plan Update
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2K) legislation established the Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program and created requirements for the Post-Disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). DMA 2K requires local governments to develop and submit mitigation plans that demonstrate “a jurisdiction’s commitment to reduce risk from natural hazards, serving as a guide for decision makers as they commit resources to reducing the effects of natural hazards.” Upon completion, the final plan must be reviewed by Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) and approved Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and then adopted by each participating jurisdiction. An update must be completed/updated every five years to remain compliant with FEMA.

Public Notice
From Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources
Richmond, VA — The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) is receiving increasing reports of sick or dead wild birds on the Eastern Shore and isolated instances in the eastern half of the state. Preliminary testing indicates that the likely cause in several cases was H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). This virus has been present in North America since late 2021, causing sporadic mortality events across the continent. Although most disease activity in Virginia is currently centered around the Eastern Shore and other coastal regions, it is possible that sporadic cases may be seen throughout the state.
