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.

Hollygrove-Dixon Neighborhood Association and New Orleans Green Infrastructure Collective worked with CAPA Strategies to design a Heat Watch campaign that would expand and update a 2020 heat map for New Orleans to include updated methodologies and an adjusted map area. The data will be used to inform future advocacy on urban tree planting and nature-based solutions in New Orleans.

The Works, Inc. collaborated with staff from the City of Memphis and Shelby County and faculty from the University of Memphis to conduct a Heat Watch campaign to study extreme heat in Memphis in 2025. One goal of this campaign is to better understand how heat may contribute to extreme differences in life expectancy in different parts of Memphis.
