Please join us on Wednesday, November 13 to hear details about the National Levee Safety Program and how USACE and FEMA are working together to protect our communities.

Many communities across the nation are protected by levees, which are often decades old and built without the benefit of modern engineering practices. Development often intensifies behind levees putting more reliance on the levee’s ability to protect these communities. 

The American Water Resources Association National Capital Region Section (AWRA-NCRS) is hosting a happy hour at Franklin Hall! Consider stopping by to connect with professionals in the Washington, DC area and exchange ideas on all aspects of water resources and related fields

Please join us on the afternoon of Wednesday, September 18th at 2:00 pm for a presentation and walking tour at the Alexandria Waterfront. This outing will include an overview of the Alexandria Waterfront Small Area Plan and Flood Mitigation Project, which has evolved over time to incorporate resiliency, water quality objectives, anticipated future rainfall conditions, and budget constraints. The tour will include discussions on some of the challenges and opportunities experienced with the project; highlighting specific considerations, regulations and policies including civic engagement, landscape guidelines, stormwater regulatory compliance, accessibility and other competing interests. For more information on this project, see the project website .
