NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY.com) – The city of Norfolk is preparing to face the next big hurricane, and the city is doing it with a new emergency manager.

“We’ve had a long history of actually being on top of and ready for storms so we’re doing what we’ve always done,” said Norfolk city spokesperson Bob Batcher.

The city is doing it without longtime Director of Emergency Preparedness and Response Ronald Keys, who retired earlier this year.
