SPEAKER: Erik Elson San Diego State University Research Foundation with Stephen Harris from FloodBreak

The San Diego State University (SDSU) Research Foundation is located at the foot of the hill supporting most of the SDSU Campus. Drainage from a nearby creek has been problematic during heavy rains near the buildings and has led to flooding several times in the past years. FloodBreak Barriers are currently protecting an underground parking area and multiple pedestrian entrances for one of the buildings. A presentation will be provided by representatives from SDSU Research Foundation and FloodBreak.

Topics to include:

• The flood problem - setting, flooding, frequency, damage

• Solutions considered - passive automatic technology versus active systems

• Reliability of flood proofing

• Other projects

PLEASE REGISTER BY 5PM on the THURSDAY before the event.

COST: $20 for FMA members, $25 for everyone else.
