Forthcoming Event

EAFCRM10, the UK’s leading flood & coastal risk management conference, will be held at the International Conference Centre, Telford (29 June – 1 July 2010). Now in its 45th year, the joint Defra & Environment Agency flood conference is the leading event of its kind for flood & coastal management professionals.
 
The 3-day long conference will cover the spectrum of flood and coastal erosion issues, with a strong emphasis on the need to adapt to a changing climate and balance new initiatives with increased efficiency & financial responsibility. 

It will also provide UK flood management professionals with an international perspective on flood risk management, as Peter Rabbon (US Army Corp of Engineers) will give insight into flood risks & management practices in the US, and how lessons learnt across the Atlantic can be applied in the UK.
