What is a HeatReady Neighborhood?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A HeatReady Neighborhood addresses extreme heat emergencies and works towards long-term mitigation solutions that create more thermal comfort for its residents.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\t

While there is a shared understanding of interventions at the neighborhood and household scale for mitigating extreme heat, a gap remains in determining what strategies communities, especially those living with the consequences of inequities<\/strong>, want to prioritize and the best process for this work. The HeatReady Neighborhoods rubric optimizes a community\u2019s assets or \u201cheat resource shed\u201d and is developed by community groups, engaged citizens, neighborhood organizations and community development corporations.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\n

HeatReady Neighborhood rubric<\/strong> will guide neighborhoods in personal, household and collective heat emergencies and utilize evidence-based solutions in creating cool zones and pathways in anticipation of a hotter future environment. A HeatReady Neighborhood, similar to a HeatReady School, can identify, prepare for, mitigate, track and respond to the negative impacts of extreme heat.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
