CHARG is a coalition of 114 government, non-profit, and private entities working to address coastal hazard risks in the San Francisco Bay Area through regional coordination. Its vision is to collaborate across levels of government to implement integrated solutions that mitigate risk and protect communities. CHARG has established technical, funding, and policy working groups to pursue priorities like developing shared guidance on sea level rise projections, identifying high-risk areas, and studying multi-benefit adaptation strategies. The groups also aim to create consistent regulatory approaches, develop funding strategies, and reform policies that inhibit resilience projects.
