Dear ICFM Community，

We are pleased to announce that the 9th International Conferences on Flood Management will be held in Tsukuba, Japan, on February 18-22, 2023.

ICFM provides an opportunity for experts, researchers, practitioners, policymakers and other stakeholders worldwide to discuss and exchange ideas and experience on a broad range of flood-related issues. Till this year, we have successfully held eight conferences across the globe (with the 8th being held online). The local hosts of ICFM9 are the International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM) and the Public Works Research Institute (PWRI) of Japan. The central theme of ICFM9 is River Basin Disaster Resilience and Sustainability by All - Integrated Flood Management in the Post COVID-19 Era.

Abstract submission for ICFM9 is now open through the conference website https://www.icfm9.jp. The deadline for submitting abstracts (not to exceed 1,000 characters including spaces) is February 28, 2022. Detailed conference information and important dates are available on the conference website. 

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at icfm@icfm.world or the Local Organizing Committee at icfm9@icharm.org. We are looking forward to seeing you in Tsukuba.

With best regards,
ICFM
