Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This 90-minute virtual roundtable brought together local organizers from several Urban Heat Watch campaigns as well as representatives from NOAA and CAPA Strategies to discuss how the data and maps generated through these campaigns can be used to better understand heat-related vulnerability and inform effective heat mitigation strategies designed to capture those populations who are most vulnerable.
