A directory of Vulnerability Assessments on Sea Level Rise from cities, counties, state agencies, and Tribes across Washington, gathered by the Washington Coastal Hazards Resilience Network.

CHRN has a membership of over 70 coastal hazards and climate change practitioners from federal, local and state government agencies, tribes, academic institutions, consulting firms, and nonprofit organizations. CHRN hosts a resource library for relevant reports, guiding documents, mappers, tools, and data that provide helpful information related to coastal resilience and adaptation planning.

The Future Shorelines Project identifies vulnerabilities and actions that could be taken to address sea level rise, coastal flooding, riverine flooding, and compound flooding (coastal and riverine flooding combined) throughout Whatcom County. The Future Shorelines Project represents Phase 2 of planning by Whatcom County and partners while Phase 1 involved a Compound Flood Vulnerability Assessment. The information in the Future Shorelines Report is also available in a Story Map.

This Sea Level Rise Monitoring Plan provides a data-driven foundation for adaptive management and enables the City of Olympia, LOTT Clean Water Alliance, and Port of Olympia (together, the Olympia Sea Level Rise Collaborative) to assess changing environmental and climatic conditions and determine the appropriate timing and sequencing of future sea level rise adaptation actions.

Pierce County’s capital assets and facilities, such as government buildings, transportation systems, utilities, and parks, are susceptible to the climate risks. The purpose of this memo is to provide an overview of current climate trends and projected changes, identify best practices and guidelines for resilient infrastructure, and provide decision-support questions to evaluate vulnerability and select climate-informed design strategies.
