SUMMARY:Planners’ Briefing for Puget Sound Parcel-Scale Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nPlanners’ Briefing for Puget Sound Parcel-Scale\nSea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment\nFriday\, April 18\, 2025\, 10-11 am  \nThis webinar will be held on Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendees of this webinar will: \n\n\nLearn about the Puget Sound Parcel-Scale Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment project. \n\n\nProvide feedback on how this information could inform your work. \n\n\nLearn how you can get involved in the project through future workshop and feedback opportunities. \n\n\nAssessing the vulnerability of coastal jurisdictions and Tribes to impacts exacerbated by sea level rise (SLR) is of growing importance\, and is likely to be emphasized in new rules expected under Washington’s Shoreline Management Act. Vulnerability assessment couples hazard exposure information with the spatial distribution and relative value of community assets and their sensitivity to those hazards and provides better insights about areas that are most at risk due to SLR-driven hazards. A careful and comprehensive assessment of SLR-driven vulnerability\, therefore\, can lead to more-nuanced planning and decision-making and support more equitable distributions of resources and investment intended to reduce vulnerability. \nThe intent of this webinar is to introduce a project funded by the Habitat Strategic Initiative Lead that will improve upon a spatial analysis of SLR vulnerability initially developed between 2020-2023 that is intended to inform land use\, ecological restoration\, and hazard planning in Puget Sound. The assessment will re-calculate an SLR vulnerability index for every parcel within an SLR hazard zone\, based both on the configuration of infrastructure and coastal habitats within the study area. \nWebinar logistics: \n\n\nThis webinar is free to attend. Register here: https://washington.zoom.us/meeting/register/wB3DYHHXSkiKTWX998Zt6Q \n\n\nFor those who are unable to attend\, we will share a recording of the presentation on the SCPG website. \n\n\nIf you cannot attend but would like to be involved in future feedback opportunities for this project\, please contact Ian Miller at immiller@uw.edu. \n\n\n1 AICP CM credit will be offered for this webinar. \n\n\nContact Sydney Fishman at sfishma@uw.edu with any questions. \n\n\nThe following speakers will be presenting at the webinar: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nDr. Ian Miller is Washington Sea Grant’s coastal hazards specialist\, working out of Peninsula College in Port Angeles as well as the Olympic Natural Resources Center in Forks. Dr. Miller works with coastal communities on the Olympic Peninsula to increase their ability to plan for and manage coastal hazards\, including tsunamis\, chronic erosion\, coastal flooding\, and hazards associated with climate change. Before joining WSG\, Dr. Miller served as the education director of the Olympic Park Institute and as Washington field coordinator for the nonprofit Surfrider Foundation. Ian received a bachelor’s degree in marine ecology at Western Washington University’s Huxley College of Environmental Studies and earned a doctoral degree in ocean sciences from the University of California\, Santa Cruz. His graduate research focused on the transport and fate of sediment in the coastal zone adjacent to the Elwha River delta. Find him online at the Coast Nerd Gazette.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvery Maverick is a licensed geologist in the state of Washington. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from University of Oregon and a Master’s in coastal geology from Western Washington University. Avery’s research focuses on coastal processes and implications for shoreline change using remote sensing\, structure-from-motion\, and modeling. Avery applies these skills to coastal restoration and applied coastal management at CGS. She performs geospatial analysis\, modeling\, works on assessing vulnerability to sea level rise\, and contributes to developing adaptation strategies for specific sites. She is passionate about coastal processes and protecting shorelines here in the Salish Sea. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n
