WASHINGTON COASTAL HAZARDS RESILIENCE NETWORK
Our goal is to strengthen the resilience of Washington’s coastal communities through collaboration, education, and knowledge exchange. This website provides a curated selection of relevant science, best practices, and other resources related to coastal hazards in Washington.
This website will guide you in the process of learning about coastal hazards, direct you to Washington-specific tools and resources, provide you with examples of projects happening along the coast, and connect you with people who are involved in this work.

CHRN Lunch & Learn
Convening coastal resilience practitioners for two-way knowledge sharing
The Washington Coastal Hazards Resilience Network (CHRN) is excited to announce the launch of a new Lunch & Learn series. The Lunch & Learn provides a space for practitioners working in the coastal resilience realm to share a bit about their work, connect with other CHRN members, receive input from the group, and develop collaborative partnerships.
Join us for our first Lunch & Learn on Thursday, October 19th from 1-2pm. Dr. Ian Miller, Coastal Hazards Specialist at Washington Sea Grant, will talk about the Puget Sound Parcel Scale Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment, which is a quantitative sea level rise vulnerability tool for Puget Sound. Topics will include goals of the project and suggested uses of the vulnerability index. Dr. Miller will present for about 30 minutes followed by 30 minutes of discussion and Q&A.
