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.

Introducing a new option for connecting with CHRN: Open Form/Drop-in Office Hours!
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. Helpful info:
- What: Open Forum/Drop-In Office Hours
- Why: Ask questions to CHRN coordinators and Members, provide and receive updates on coastal resilience work, connect with other Members, etc.
- When: CHRN coordinators will be available for 45 min after each CHRN Lunch & Learn event for the Open Forum/Drop-in, see Lunch and Learn Series page here. The next Open Forum/Drop-in office hours will be November 19 at 12pm (following the Lunch & Learn from 11am-12pm).
- How: Zoom meeting (use this link here).
- Who: Anyone is invited to hop in to these! Drop-in to ask questions, provide updates, or just to say hello!
