Follow-up: Planners’ Briefing for Puget Sound Parcel-Scale Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment

Hosted by the Shoreline and Coastal Planners Group: https://www.coastalplanners.org/ Please join us to share your local knowledge and expertise of Puget Sound coastal hazards! Background: On April 18, 2025, Ian Miller provided an overview to the Shoreline & Coastal Planners Group of a project that will calculate a sea level rise (SLR) vulnerability index for every parcel within an SLR hazard zone in Puget Sound, based on the exposure of the parcel to hazards and on the configuration of infrastructure and coastal habitats. Vulnerability assessment couples hazard exposure information with the spatial distribution and relative value of community assets and their sensitivity to those hazards. A careful and comprehensive assessment of SLR-driven vulnerability, therefore, can lead to more-nuanced planning and decision-making and support more equitable distribution of resources and investment intended to reduce vulnerability. This spatial analysis is funded by the Habitat Strategic Initiative Lead and is intended to inform land use, ecological restoration, and hazard planning. In this follow-up workshop, we’re seeking interested participants to provide local knowledge and expertise that will be used to validate the results of the spatial analysis. In a virtual setting, we will provide participants with a short briefing about the project and the concept of vulnerability as it relates to sea level rise. We will then introduce participants to a map-based survey instrument on which they can provide insights into particular locations that they view as vulnerable as sea level rises. We will subsequently use the data collected to ground-truth the results from the spatial analysis. You can view the April 18, 2025, briefing here: www.coastalplanners.org/parcel-scale-va
