TC Chair: Koji Ichii

TC303 Coastal and River Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation (Short name: Floods) provides an international forum for advancing geotechnical knowledge, practice, and collaboration related to coastal and river flooding. The committee addresses disaster preparedness, crisis response, post-event reconnaissance, rehabilitation, and long-term resilience. We focus on various types of disasters such as floods, tsunami, erosion, landslides, erthquake-induced liquefaction, etc. 

Its activities include developing guidelines and technical recommendations, compiling international case histories, supporting conferences and knowledge exchange, and promoting collaboration among researchers, practitioners, public agencies, industry, and early-career professionals.

The disaster mitigation and rehabilitation can be done not only by geotechnical engineers/researchers, but also by the collaboration with wide variety of specilasit including urban planner, economist, lawyers, etc. Therefore, the collaboration with people in other fields is highly encouraged in TC activities.
