The Port's Waterfront Resilience Program 

The Port's Waterfront Resilience Program (WRP) was created to ensure the waterfront, and its important regional and citywide assets, are resilient in the face of earthquakes, flooding, sea level rise due to climate change, shoreline erosion, and extreme storms. The waterfront has a history rich with innovative adaptation, and resilience is forged in the Port's identity. We have a once in a generation opportunity to not only defend our waterfront from future flood and earthquake risks, but also to improve and rejuvenate the waterfront, improve the City's connection to the Bay, and bring benefits such as more open space, enhanced mobility, safety and jobs. Over the next 3 years, Program work is expected to include completing the United States Army Corps of Engineers General Investigation Feasibility Study (San Francisco Flood Study), advancing design and engineering of the USACE recommended plan in collaboration with City partners, and implementing multiple transformational resilience projects including those funded by the 2018 Seawall General Obligation Bond.  The Program is led by a dedicated team that shares a passion for leading the Port and City to a more resilient future.
