Coastal flooding is one of the most serious environmental risks to the UK. Despite much research on general risks of coastal flooding, knowledge about how flooding affects the estuary port systems that sustain much of the UK economy is more limited. The proposed research aims to examine risks of coastal flooding to port systems and the supply chains that they sustain throughout the UK. As an exploratory study in a short term, the research considers two major ports (Dover and Immingham) that are subject to flooding risks. The supply chains considered are food import systems that are clearly of critical importance to the UK. The project has the following objectives:-Predicting time evolution of potential coastal flooding -Translating risks of flooding to risks in port infrastructure systems-Translating risks of flooding to risks in import logistics systems-Engineering risk communication between flood forecasters and infrastructure users/owners The core stakeholders of this project are the Maritime Resilience Planning and Consequence Management Team of the Department for Transport (DfT; UK central government), the ports of Immingham and Dover and John Dora Consulting. Network Rail and the Food Storage and Distribution Federation have agreed to make comments on our outputs and send officers to our workshops. The results of the projects will help their policy formation as well as development of Emergency Procedures and Business Continuation Plans. In particular, the results will be used in the UK government's cross-departmental initiative on UK maritime, food and energy resilience to a tidal surge.

沿海洪水是英国最严重的环境风险之一。尽管对沿海洪水的一般风险进行了大量研究，但关于洪水如何影响维持英国大部分经济的河口港口系统的知识却更为有限。拟议的研究旨在研究沿海洪水对整个英国港口系统及其供应链的风险。作为一项短期探索性研究，该研究考虑了面临洪水风险的两个主要港口（多佛和伊明翰）。所考虑的供应链是食品进口系统，这显然对英国至关重要。该项目有以下目标： - 预测潜在沿海洪水的时间演变 - 将洪水风险转化为港口基础设施系统中的风险 - 将洪水风险转化为进口物流系统中的风险 - 洪水预报员和基础设施用户/业主之间的工程风险沟通 该项目的核心利益相关者是英国交通部（DfT；英国中央银行）的海上防灾规划和后果管理团队 政府）、伊明翰和多佛港口以及约翰多拉咨询公司。铁路网络和食品储存和配送联合会已同意对我们的成果发表评论，并派官员参加我们的研讨会。这些项目的结果将有助于他们制定政策以及制定应急程序和业务连续计划。特别是，研究结果将用于英国政府关于英国海事、食品和能源应对潮汐浪潮的跨部门倡议。
