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!
