Supporting NIHHIS:Advancing Heat Resilience through Data, Policy,and Partnerships

Assessing heat-related impacts in rural and coastal areas and in six sectors: energy, health, transportation, agriculture, housing, and labor. This award advances local and state heat preparedness by expanding to two new sectors: tourism and small business, as well as hosting new private sector engagements and delivering new products that state and local governments can use to improve heat preparedness. This work is critical to delivering on NOAA/National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS)'s mission to improve decision-making and reduce heat-related deaths and other impacts to the economy.
