UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation

The Center for Heat Resilient Communities’ collective work has been compiled into a toolkit to help communities assess, plan for, and implement strategies to address extreme heat. It integrates climate modeling, vulnerability assessment, governance, equity, and other considerations to guide data-informed, locally tailored heat action. This toolkit is intended for practitioners and presents a comprehensive framework for heat planning, along with a workbook of interactive activities to help communities identify priority strategies. Practitioners who use the workbook will ultimately create a strategy document to guide further action.
