More than 100 attendees came together at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District's 2026 Levee Safety Meeting to strengthen regional flood risk management and levee safety efforts at the University of Louisville’s ShelbyHurst Campus, Feb. 24, 2026.
The event, which began in 2008 and typically occurs biennially, included levee sponsors, as well as their partners, like maintenance staff and Architect/Engineer firms they routinely work with, and vendors who can assist with operations and maintenance.
The Louisville District Levee Safety Program manages the largest portfolio in the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division. Their footprint includes 57 levee systems (26 in Indiana, 14 in Kentucky, nine in Illinois and eight in Ohio) with 260 miles of levee embankment and 26 miles of levee floodwall. Through strong partnerships with 46 different levee sponsors ranging from farmers, city officials, engineers, and superintendents of local public services, the program plays a critical role in reducing flood damage risk to communities across the region, ensuring they are ready to rise to the challenge when waters rise.
