Abstrakt: The Quinault Indian Nation received $13 million in funding from the state's Climate Commitment Act to move the villages of Taholah and Queets out of flood and tsunami zones. The funds will be used for new buildings, emergency shelters, and infrastructure on higher ground. The Hoh Tribe is conducting a climate change assessment with funding from the same act, combining tribal knowledge with data to mitigate the effects of climate change on fishing and vulnerable sites. The assessment aims to support the tribe's efforts to preserve resources and cultural institutions in the face of climate change. [Extracted from the article]
