CHRN Annual Meeting
The Coastal Hazards Resilience Network (CHRN) regularly holds an annual meeting that focuses on coastal resilience partnership building and information sharing. These annual meetings provide an opportunity for network members from across Washington’s Pacific Coast, Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Puget Sound to connect with one another, discuss current issues, learn about ongoing projects, and coordinate on future efforts.
CHRN members are encouraged to reach out with ideas, questions, or share possible topics for the upcoming annual meeting by emailing the network’s co-manager, Noah Linck at nlin461@ecy.wa.gov
