U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civil engineer Alex Baldowski discusses the quarterly Silver Jackets meeting held in Washington, D.C., July 22, 2026. Silver Jackets bring together federal and state agencies to coordinate on flood risk management. The event began with a tour of the Washington, D.C. levee system, which runs parallel to the Reflecting Pool and includes closure structures that help reduce flood risk to the District. Participants then reconvened at the Smithsonian American History Museum for a round-robin of agency presentations on current and future flood risk initiatives. Baldowski emphasized that both in-person and virtual meetings are essential to building the partnerships that make the Silver Jackets program successful, particularly given the number of state and federal agencies engaged in flood risk management in the D.C. area.
