Extreme Heat Toolkit
In collaboration with the Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN) equity, diversity and inclusion fellow and the Office of Resilience, Miami-Dade County’s Extreme Heat Toolkit was developed based on engagement with a wide variety of stakeholders. The goal of the toolkit is to provide a high-level briefing of various policy and project options identified by our community to adapt to and mitigate extreme heat.
The toolkit offers a glimpse into benefits and tradeoffs associated with adapting and mitigating extreme heat through strategies related to 1) Blue & Green Spaces; 2) Buildings and Transit; and 3) Communications and Community Engagement.
The toolkit is designed as a steppingstone to the County’s broader efforts to address extreme heat and the impacts of climate change. It is meant to be a helpful resource to policy makers and community leaders to help orient and organize the County’s future work in this space.
