Description | People living in Washington’s coastal areas face a host of natural hazards that are being exacerbated by sea level rise, ranging from nuisance flooding during King Tide events, eroding coastlines and wave damage. Incorporating sea level rise projections into the decision-making process will help Washington communities build resilience to coastal hazards. The Washington Coastal Resilience Project employed technical innovations and community engagement to rapidly increase the state’s capacity to support proactive local action on these hazards.
