The Storms, Flooding & Sea Level Defense conference will be the fifth conference produced by the Propeller Club of Northern California and the Society of American Military Engineers.

This year’s SFSLD 2022 conference will look at:

U.S.- China Collaboration
Nature-based solutions to defend against flooding in California, Maryland, Texas, Louisiana, and the Netherlands
Port & State strategies to address sea level rise and flooding: California Hawaii, Louisiana, Texas, and Rotterdam

The conferences grew out of the initiatives of California ports including the Ports of Oakland, San Francisco, Long Beach and Los Angeles and have subsequently expanded to include ports around the United States. The ports share their plans to address storms, flooding, and higher sea levels and examine the impact on port operations, commerce and the wider community.The SFSLD conferences have also benefited from collaboration with experts in the Netherlands, including the Port of Rotterdam, Deltares, Royal Haskoning, the Dutch government’s Rijkswaterstaat and from Jeroen Aerts, Director Department of Water and Climate Risk, VU University of Amsterdam.
