The Propeller Club of Northern California & Society of American Military Engineers Present:
One in 50 people living in two dozen coastal cities in the United States could experience significant flooding by 2050, according to Virginia Tech-led research. The study provides a new comprehensive look at the flood risks for 32 cities on three coasts by 2050. (Image courtesy of Leonard Ohenhen.) Published in Nature, the study combines satellite-obtained measurements of sinking land, also known as subsidence, with sea-level rise projections and tide charts to provide a new comprehensive look at the potential for flooding in a combined 32 cities along the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts. The study projects that in the next three decades as many as 500,000 people could be affected as well as a potential 1 in 35 privately owned properties damaged by flooding. The study also highlights the racial and socioeconomic demographics of those potentially affected. [1]

In the wake of the pandemic, most people in the Bay Area are aware of the key role the Port plays in the region’s economy and well-being. So what do those closest to the Port – its partners, tenants and workers – believe are the most compelling issues and ideas to ensure long-range success? And how do we work together to ensure that vision becomes a reality and the Port and City create policies to support those goals?
Join industry and Port of Oakland leaders as they facilitate a discussion on priorities and opportunities for the Port’s maritime properties in the coming years. Be on the lookout for a survey soliciting feedback and ideas for maritime-compatible development and infrastructure at Howard Terminal and other Port properties. We’re eager for robust participation in order to launch what is hoped to be a collaborative process around key infrastructure and transportation projects at the Port of Oakland.

California State University Maritime Academy President Michael Dumont will discuss current challenges facing the Maritime Academy. As you know many CMA graduates are today leading figures in California’s maritime community.
California State University (CSU) Interim Chancellor Jolene Koester appointed retired Navy Reserve Vice Admiral Michael J. Dumont to serve as interim president of California State University Maritime Academy.
“Vice Admiral Dumont possesses an extraordinary breadth and depth of specialized knowledge and skills that align with the unique needs of the California State University Maritime Academy,” said Koester. “Over the course of his illustrious careers in both the military and the civil service, he provided sage guidance to military leaders and governmental officials at the highest levels and has demonstrated superlative leadership skills. He will undoubtedly be a tremendous asset to Cal Maritime and its cadets, faculty and staff, as well as the maritime community more broadly.”
Dumont most recently served as deputy commander, U.S. Northern Command and vice commander of NORAD where, under the direction of the president of the United States and the secretary of defense, he was responsible for overseeing the protection of North America, providing homeland defense, maintaining cooperative security relationships, and supporting state, local and tribal authorities.
His teaching experience includes having served as a military instructor pilot, and as a legal instructor for the National Advocacy Center, the National College of District Attorneys, and the Virginia Commonwealth’s Attorneys’ Services Council. He has also served as a guest lecturer for several institutions including the University of Southern Maine, the University of Idaho, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the University of New Mexico.
Dumont earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern Maine, a Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School, a Master of Science from the National War College, and a Master of Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College. His husband, Scott, is employed as a corporate strategist.
