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.

Lunch & Learn: Community-Driven Climate Resilience Projects Along the Lower Columbia River
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, November 19th from 11am-12pm for “Community-Driven Climate Resilience Projects Along the Lower Columbia River.” From 2021-24, workshops and related discussions identified local priorities, issues, and ideas for resilience to changing water levels along Baker Bay and Grays Bay. Catherine Corbett (Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership) and Jackson Blalock (Pacific Conservation District) will share the origins, methods, and outcomes of this work which advanced projects that address current and future issues related to sea level rise. To learn more about the project, visit this project page.

Introducing a new option for connecting with CHRN: Office Hours and Lunch and Learns!
We are happy to announce that we are now offering “office hours” in the form of a virtual open forum/drop-in option. This new opportunity spawns from 2024 Annual Meeting Feedback, which included lots of interest in connecting more frequently with other CHRN members throughout the year. We’re also hosting Lunch & Learn series that provides a space for practitioners working in the coastal resilience realm to share a bit about their work and connect with other CHRN members.
