After considering the outcomes of the GFP participant survey for the next location of the meeting and the different offers received to host the meeting, we are pleased to announce that the next Global Flood Partnership meeting will take place on 25 - 27 June 2018 in Delft, The Netherlands, hosted by Deltares.

Mark Trigg (University of Leeds) will co-chair a Special Session at the Seventh International Conference on Flood Management (ICFM7) together with Jeffrey Neal (University of Bristol) and Philip Ward (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam). The session is entitled "Global Flood Models: From theory to practice"

The Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Across the Americas Summit will provide the unique opportunity for needed joint dialogue and work planning between representatives of the scientific earth observation (EO) and DRR community, including stakeholders in regional preparedness and planning, disaster mitigation, emergency response, and recovery.
