Longmont, CO
Community-Informed Cooling Solutions
CAPA worked with the City of Longmont Sustainability Office to develop a comprehensive community engagement strategy for high-priority, heat-vulnerable neighborhoods. The team created a heat experiences survey, a workshop agenda, and informational materials around which to frame community conversations about heat. Residents in three neighborhoods, engaged in a variety of settings, provided input on what cooling solutions they wanted to see and where solutions should be implemented.
Albania
Community Heat & Air Quality Mapping in Albania
CAPA conducted a multi-part hazard assessment on extreme heat and air quality in three cities across Albania (Tirana, Shkodra and Vlora) through the World Bank Group’s Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR). Teaming up with local researchers and university students, the teams collected mobile temperature and heat index data as well as particulate matter measurements across three hot campaign days over the summer of 2023.
Oklahoma City, OK
Heat & Air Quality Experiences Survey, Jurisdictional Scan, and Intervention Guidebook
Following Heat Watch and Air Watch campaigns, the City of OKC continued its partnership with CAPA to explore impacts and actions around heat and air pollution. A survey allowed for comparison of experiences between high and low heat vulnerability zip codes and revealed community needs, while a jurisdictional scan provided an overview of relevant plans, programs, and codes. The final intervention guidebook offers detailed options for heat mitigation and adaptation informed by best practices, local experiences, and regulations.
