ICE & InstRE Joint Professional Meeting: Responding to flood emergencies – developments over the last 10 years

Date 27 Jun 23;

Location @ ICE, London; One Great George Street

The Joint Professional Meeting (JPM) between the Institution of Royal Engineers (InstRE) and the Institution of Civil Engineers will consider military and civilian approaches to flooding.

As climate change continues to impact the environment, organisations and agencies have needed to adapt their crisis response options in a dynamic way; this has required increased investment, cultural and institutional change, as well as closer partnerships to ensure a better outcome.

The JPM will provide a platform to examine developments and improvements in reactions to flooding emergencies over the last ten years using international and domestic examples.

Presentations will examine the evolved challenges faced by the Environmental Agency, military engineers, and the wider engineering profession as a result of facing more extreme weather conditions, the resilience measures required, how entities are preparing to tackle new threats, and what the future might hold. The meeting will culminate in a panel and Q&A session.

In collaboration with the InstRE, this event will build on ICE’s commitment to encourage engineers to live, breathe and deliver on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. By embedding the Sustainable Development Goals into the way we plan, design, and manage our infrastructure, we can improve the way we deliver these interventions to strengthen communities, create solid economic foundations, and live up to our responsibilities on climate change and the environment.
