It provides a foundation for further planning to ensure that County leadership, agencies, and citizens are aware and prepared to meet the effects of disasters and emergencies. Incident management cannot be event driven. Through increased awareness and preventive measures, the ultimate goal is to help ensure a unified approach that will lesson vulnerability to hazards over time. The HIVA is not a detailed study, but a general overview of known hazards that can affect Jefferson County. Jefferson County Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment 2011 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An integrated emergency management approach involves hazard identification, risk assessment, and vulnerability analysis. This document, the Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA) describes the hazard identification and assessment of both natural hazards and technological, or human caused hazards, which exist for the people of Jefferson County.

    Olympic National Park Zoë Trager 1 Table of Contents Overview 3 Hoh Rainforest 4 Pacific Coast 5 Olympic Mountains 6 Weather 7 Diversity 8-9 Elwha River Restoration 10-11 Park Protection 12 Glossary 13-14 2 Overview The Olympic National Park covers nearly one million acres in the northwest of Washington State. The Olympic National Park is very diverse. It includes three different ecosystems: mountains, pacific coast, and temperate rain forest. 3 Hoh Rainforest The Hoh Rainforest is a part of the Olympic National Park. It is a temperate rainforest. The canopy is lush and green due to all of the rain the area gets. The Hoh Rainforest is covered in a layer of mosses and ferns as well. 4 Pacific Coast Beautiful sunsets can be seen on the coastlines of the Pacific Ocean when visiting the Olympic National Park. Grey whales can be seen spouting in the water. Seals, sea lions, and sea otters are also often swimming in the Pacific Ocean or resting on the beaches. 5 Olympic Mountains Mount Olympus is the highest peak in the Olympic Mountain Range, reaching 7,980 feet at the summit. Hurricane Ridge is a great lookout point to view the Olympic Mountains. 6 Weather Temperate rainforests have mild weather, so it is never extremely cold or extremely hot How much does it rain in temperate rainforests? In the Hoh Rainforest, the average rainfall per year is 140 to 170 inches, which is 12 to 14 feet! 7 Diversity How is there so much diversity in the Olympic National Park? Since there are high mountain peaks and low-lying rivers, there are many changes in elevation.

Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest 21905 64th ave. West Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043 425-744-3200 ABSTRACT More than 500 references on the elemental content of lichens, mosses and liverworts are reviewed to facilitate the use of elemental analysis in environmental biomonitoring in the Pacific Northwest. An introductory section, four appendices, and a spreadsheet database are presented to help organize these studies: 1) an introduction to the subject, methodology, and review of the sources of elevated values for the more commonly-analyzed elements, including a table extracted from the spreadsheet database of species-specific background/enhancement levels for 8 lichen and 3 moss species of the Pacific Northwest, 2) a list of worldwide species and the studies that have used each species in elemental content work, 3) a list of common sources of enhanced levels of elements and the references referring to those sources, and 4) a matrix of elemental content for most commonly analyzed-for elements vs. Pacific Northwest species (listing reports for each species separately and including levels for other elements not in the main matrix).

For us devoted inhabitants of the Puget Sound, with our salt-brined skin and moss tinged hearts, protecting and preserving the glorious landscape of the Pacific Northwest is part of life here. In our pursuit of better ground, we can’t overlook our region’s defining resource. Water is the first authority of our land. In this publication, we’ll show you the water systems that you live within, and give you some actions you can take to protect water resources on your property and in your community. We are your local conservation district, and our mission is to inspire stewardship of our shared natural resources. Stewardship means taking intentional actions that benefit not just our- selves, but the ecosystem around us as well. It’s the path to improving our water resources and all the beings that depend on them, humans included. It’s the knowledge that we are all in this together. How can we be good stewards of our waters, which give us life? And not just any life, our unique and stunning PNW island life.

    Historylink.Org Supplement for Washington: a State of Contrasts

    Photo of Gatewood School students on last day of school, Seattle, June 17, 1949. Courtesy Museum of History & Industry. HistoryLink.org Supplement for Washington: A State of Contrasts 1 Washington: A State of Contrasts has been identified as the most commonly used Washington state History textbook for 7th and 8th grades for the 2011-12 school year. Using this textbook as a base for identifying the specific themes and topics that are being covered in required Pacific Northwest History middle school classes, the Education Team at HistoryLink.org has created this supplement for teacher and students. This supplement was developed as a tool to assist in identifying HistoryLink.org essays that can be used to study and research the state history themes and topic in more depth. The name of each relevant essay is listed as well as the abstract, number, and link to the full essay. This supplement also aids HistoryLink.org in identifying general or specific topics for which more essays are needed or would be helpful in the Washington state History classroom. In addition, as a part of this exercise, HistoryLink.org staff assigned appropriate key words to selected essays to match those used in this textbook. A set of HistoryLink Elementary essays was added to the HistoryLink encyclopedia in 2014. (http://www.historylink.org/Index.cfm?DisplayPage=education/elementary- educators.cfm.) These essays were written for beginning readers who are studying Washington state history or anyone who wants to learn more about Washington. They may be helpful for some of your students. All HistoryLink Elementary essays are based on existing HistoryLink essays.
