Overview
Flood evacuation planning is essential for saving lives, reducing injuries, and minimizing property damage during flood events. Recognizing the importance of this issue, the Engineers Australia Queensland Water Panel is hosting an evening event in Brisbane—one of Australia’s most flood-prone urban areas—focused on the latest developments in flood evacuation planning.
Effective evacuation planning is a cornerstone of flood risk management. It requires a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach involving engineers, emergency managers, local authorities, and private sector stakeholders. When done well, it enables a swift, safe, and collaborative response during flood emergencies.
This event will bring together water engineering professionals, local disaster managers, and emergency management experts for an engaging evening of discussion and knowledge sharing. A diverse lineup of speakers will present on current strategies, LifeSim modelling for evacuation, innovations, and challenges in flood evacuation planning.
Join us for this important conversation and help shape a safer, more resilient future for flood-prone communities.
