CHRN Lunch & Learn
Convening coastal resilience practitioners for two-way knowledge sharing
The Washington Coastal Hazards Resilience Network (CHRN) is excited to continue our 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 Tuesday, September 7th from 1-1:50pm for “Whatcom County Compound Flood Vulnerability Assessment – A CoSMoS Use Case.” Kurt Baumgarten (Environmental Planner for the Port of Bellingham) and Chris Elder (Watershed Planner for Whatcom County’s Public Works Department) will present on Whatcom County’s Compound Flood Vulnerability Assessment. Kurt and Chris will talk about the process for completing this vulnerability assessment, the funding through the Department of Ecology, where the County is going with phase 2 of the grant, and touch on insights of the collaboration between the city, the county and the port. They will also discuss how they used CoSMoS data in the assessment, and how they plan to use it in Phase 2 for adaptation planning and policy.
