Welcoming Message
Welcome to the website of International Conference on Integrated Flood Management Strategy. With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, flood management has become a pressing concern for cities like Hong Kong. The record rainfall and severe flooding in September 2023 underscored the urgent need to strengthen flood prevention measures. This conference, themed “Building an Adaptive and Resilient City to Safeguard the Public Against Flooding under Extreme Weather,” is a timely opportunity to address these challenges.

Our goal is to bring together business leaders, policymakers, experts, and academics from around the world to discuss flood adaptation strategies and innovations. Participants will have unique opportunities to network with key industry stakeholders from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and other global cities, fostering collaboration to enhance urban flood resilience.

By sharing knowledge and insights, we aim to provide valuable guidance for improving flood management policies and technologies, ultimately safeguarding lives and property of the public.

We look forward to seeing you at the conference!

With the vision to provide world-class wastewater and stormwater drainage services enabling the sustainable development of Hong Kong, the DSD has been striving to upgrade sewage treatment and flood protection levels in Hong Kong.  In coping with the more frequent and intense extreme rainfall events due to climate change, the DSD is adopting a more pre-emptive and strategic approach in enhancing flood adaptation by continuously implementing various large-scale projects and strengthening resilience for the city, with protecting people’s safety as our priority.
Hong Kong Institution of Engineers - Civil Division
The HKIE Civil Division was founded in 1979, four years after the HKIE’s establishment by ordinance. It was a time when the city’s development had accelerated with the influx of immigrants from China and the expansion of the manufacturing sector.

With the dedicated hands of our Committee, the Civil Division has grown to become the largest division within HKIE, with a current membership of over 9000.  We are proud to be Civil Engineers with the extraordinary achievement our industry has made as a whole.
