Max Cawley, Tobin Freid, and Imani Vincent talked about the urban heat island mapping project. Across the country, days that are over 90 degrees are going up, and nights where it doesnt cool down are also increasing. Climate change will just make things
worse; we are locked into some warming already. Every three years Durham does a community health assessment; the latest in 2020 identified for the first time climate change as a public health issue focusing on extreme heat, wildfire and extreme rainfall.
Extreme heat can give heat stroke to healthy people, and disproportionately affects people with other health or demographic considerations including those who work outside; are older; have high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, or are overweight; do not have
a car; are unhoused; or lack access to air conditioning. In fact, heat has the most impact of weather conditions because of the number of people it affects.
</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif;color:#201f1e;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;text-decoration:line-through;text-decoration-skip-ink:none">Concrete gets</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif;color:#201f1e;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400"> Areas
that have a lot of concrete, asphalt, and brick can be as much as 10 degrees hotter and stay hot longer into the night. Some recommendations are to establish an upper limit on how hot a residence can get, doing green infrastructure and other items. Historic
racism correlates to vulnerability to heat events, due to more concrete, fewer trees and greenspaces, less likely to have a car, and experiencing poverty. Predicting exactly where the heat is worse is hard, and gets even more complicated when we want to know
how hot it is in the air around someones head. The heat island project sent volunteer citizen scientists out along predetermined routes, some on foot and some in cars, in the morning (6-7 AM), afternoon (3-4 PM) and evening on July 23, 2021. We had wildfire
in the Pacific Northwest, it wasnt as hot as it could have been. Based on data gathered, they could model a heat map across Durham. In the day, one can really see the parking lots but everywhere is pretty hot. Nighttime is when you really see how much
inequality there is, and it is important to be able to cool down at night to get a relief. The data will be available, with a kick off webinar on February 3 register here</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:#201f1e;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400"> </span><a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WcPMXh56QXOgFo2I-ey9bQ"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif;color:#201f1e;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-skip-ink:none">https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WcPMXh56QXOgFo2I-ey9bQ</span></a><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif;color:#201f1e;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400">
. The museum owns the handheld monitors so groups could borrow to do detail in a smaller area or to check out conditions at after-school activities, for example. If a parking lot is needed, it can be shaded; furthermore, it can be lighter in color or have
a coating to be more reflective. There are interventions to make it feel cooler. Durham County and the Museum of Life and Science want to work with neighborhoods to develop equitable solutions.</span></p>

$35M are being accumulated each year. The Transit Equity Campaign, which is a coalition of several groups, is an effort to get that money spent as equitably as possible and to get the communities most affected to have a say in how the money is spent. </span></p>
