Waterfront Resilience Program

The Waterfront Resilience Program (WRP), led by the Port of San Francisco, is a multi-decade initiative to strengthen the Port's 7.5-mile Bay urban waterfront against climate and seismic hazards. The WRP addresses coastal and combined flooding, sea level rise, earthquakes, shoreline erosion and other threats facing this vital stretch of infrastructure and public space. Wherever possible, the WRP examines opportunities to enhance City infrastructure and services; increase the resilience of lifeline corridors along the waterfront; promote equitable access, enjoyment and use of the Port’s public waterfront; and encourage enhancements to habitat and the public realm along what is largely a human-made shoreline.  Altogether, WRP efforts reflect the Port’s commitment to creating a resilient, equitable, and vibrant waterfront for current and future generations.

A key component of the WRP is the San Francisco Waterfront Coastal Flood Study (Flood Study), developed in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Released for public review in 2024, the Flood Study includes a $13.5 billion Draft Plan that outlines coastal flood defenses, floodproofing, water management measures, and potential future actions designed to defend the waterfront through 2140. The Port and USACE are preparing a Recommended Plan and Final Report for congress consideration by 2026. If approved, the Federal government may fund as much as 65% of the design and construction cost. The USACE Flood Study and Plan are one piece of the Port’s overall strategy to build a waterfront that is more resilient to flooding and seismic risks. The Port is also advancing planning, design and construction of Early Projects funded through the 2018 Proposition A Seawall Earthquake Safety Bond to reduce near-term seismic and flood risk and strengthen the Embarcadero Seawall in targeted areas. In some cases, these are interim fixes, and in others, they are a first step toward future adaptation. Early Projects are being prioritized using criteria developed with community input, such as improving life safety and citywide disaster/emergency response capabilities; enhancing economic and ecological opportunities; supporting an adaptable, equitable waterfront; ensuring public access to the waterfront; and preserving historic and maritime resources.  Additional workstreams within the WRP for the next three years (mid-2025 to mid-2028) include the Living Seawall Pilot, permitting and environmental review, community engagement, design and engineering, and alignment with local, state, and federal policy.
