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，但有关洪水如何影响河口港口系统的知识更加有限。拟议的研究旨在检查沿海洪水对港口系统及其在英国所维持的供应链的风险。作为一项探索性研究，该研究考虑了面临洪水风险的两个主要港口（多佛和疫苗）。所考虑的供应链是对英国显然至关重要的食品进口系统。该项目具有以下目标： - 潜在的沿海洪水泛滥的时间演变 - 将洪水泛滥的风险转换为港口基础设施系统的风险，从而将洪水泛滥到进口物流系统中的风险，以工程工程的风险进行洪水泛滥的风险交流该项目的核心利益相关者是运输部（DFT；英国中央政府），Immingham和Dover和John Dora Consulting的海上弹性计划和后果管理团队。网络铁路和食品存储和分销联合会已同意对我们的产出发表评论，并将官员送入我们的研讨会。这些项目的结果将有助于他们的政策形成以及紧急程序和业务延续计划的制定。特别是，该结果将用于英国政府关于英国海事，粮食和能源弹性的跨部门倡议。
