Navigate the Heat Action Platform

The Platform includes 3 phases with a total of 9 steps. You can start at any point in the process, depending on your goals and specific area of interest.

Search for solutions using the Policy Tool

Assess

Details about how to conduct a baseline heat risk assessment, assess heat risk awareness, and identify heat-related vulnerabilities and impacts. This supports the development and eventual implementation of heat strategies and actions.

Plan

Develop an education and engagement strategy, explore solutions, create a plan, and identify funding and financing sources. This phase supports the development of actionable heat strategies with clear implementation pathways.

IMPLEMENT & EVALUATE

Details about how to implement, monitor, and evaluate solutions.
