Groundwork Bridgeport and PT Partners are working together to conduct a stationary monitoring study focused on the West End/West Side neighborhood of Bridgeport, Connecticut. CCHM has provided guidance and best practices on how to engage volunteers as “stewards” of long-term monitors, as well as co-development of a community heat survey.

This summer, The Center for Native Health and NCICS worked closely with the Museum of Life and Science to conduct an indoor monitoring campaign focused on the impacts of indoor heat on manufactured housing and the impact of temperature inversions. The campaign expanded on existing outdoor air quality monitoring data and connected youth with elders.

Vibrant Hawai’i collaborated with Hawai’i County to design a stationary, long-term monitoring project that leveraged a network of community resilience hubs. The Museum of Life and Science assisted with training and technical support. The project will help communities understand how heat is changing daily life on the Big Island.

Heat data collection in Moab will help organizers better understand how extreme heat and air quality are affecting Moab residents and how city officials can better prepare the thousands of visitors who enjoy Moab’s public lands each year for the heat.

The CCHM is working with WE ACT to co-develop a community-based research design for an indoor campaign in New York City, where tenants often struggle to access effective and affordable cooling in high-rise apartments during summer heatwaves. The project will resume in spring 2026.
