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.

Caribbean Regenerative Community Development Corporation (CRCD) led a highly participatory, community-led, and engaging Heat Watch campaign in southwestern Puerto Rico. By combining heat mapping data with mobile and stationary air quality data, the CRCD team hopes to inform future tree planting campaigns.
