This project aims to demonstrate the link between local climate burdens and health impacts in stanislaus county and create sustainable support for residents to mitigate and, as necessary, respond to those impacts within underserved communities. The project will establish new data collection infrastructure that will monitor specific local climate- and pollution-related events. The project will engage communities and partners to create sustainable citizen-engaged mitigation participation opportunities and updates to emergency plans utilizing newly available climate data. Specific goals include: (1) identify, acquire, organize, manage, and promote community climate-related data; (2) conduct localized climate data analysis to inform local decision-making and share data, information, and related resources to allow for partner- and community-driven programming; (3) provide education, training, and capacity building to community stakeholders on civic engagement, data collection and analysis, and climate and emergency topics and policies, including linkages with community emergency response teams; and (4) develop resources, align plans, and prioritize strategies to enhance local capabilities in addressing climate-related health impacts and mitigating disasters.
