About the Program
Extreme heat will impact every community in California and is a public health, climate resilience, and social equity problem. Climate change is causing more frequent and severe consecutive, unusually hot days and nights – known as extreme heat events. The effects of extreme heat vary widely across regions, communities, and even adjacent neighborhoods. Some areas accustomed to hot temperatures are experiencing very hot conditions while other areas that have been historically cool are experiencing warmer temperatures.
Our Work
The Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program supports local, regional, and tribal efforts to mitigate extreme heat impacts, prioritizing the most heat-burdened communities through funding, technical support, and evaluation.
More information
The Extreme Heat Program supports long-range planning and policy via the facilitation of updates to the Extreme Heat Action Plan, the development of policy and partnership recommendations, and the creation of communication and awareness materials and outreach materials.
