The webinar will take place on February 5 from 10am to 11am EST and will cover methods for mapping urban heat, results from past campaigns, and lessons learned over the 20 different urban field campaigns conducted since 2015.
To reduce the risk of heat illness that arrives with hot days, the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) encourages municipalities to gather data and produce a map of their community’s hottest neighborhoods. Pending availability of federal funds, NIHHIS intends to provide financial support to 20 cities where groups are willing to organize and run volunteer mapping campaigns, and then engage municipal leaders in addressing their issues of urban heat. The application for funding is now available.
