Hosted by CEC\u2019s Executive Director, Sigrid Wright, and moderated by CEC\u2019s Director of Climate Resilience, Em Johnson, additional panelists include Fabiola Gomez, Community Organizer at the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) and Kurt Shickman, Director of the Extreme Heat Initiative for Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2021, Ventura County experienced 20 extreme heat events \u2013 more than any previously recorded years. This year, experts predict that the County will experience approximately 28 \u201chealth caution\u201d days where temperatures surpass 90\u00baF and put vulnerable communities at risk. Within the next 30 years, the number of \u201chealth caution\u201d days is expected to increase to 41 days per year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Webinar speakers will discuss how rising temperatures on the California Central Coast impact those on the frontlines of heat, and what we\u2019ve learned locally and nationally about how communities can address this urgent issue. Participants will learn how individuals can mobilize to protect those most at risk, and also hear about broader solutions in the works that knit a tighter social fabric, such as neighborhood-based resilience hubs where people can get the help they need when extreme heat hits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cExtreme heat kills more people per year than any other climate disaster and negatively affects nearly every human activity and society worldwide,\u201d stated Shickman, whose Atlantic Council-based organization has pledged to provide resilience solutions to 1 billion people by 2030. \u201dThe magnitude of the danger cannot be overstated and the\u00a0number of people exposed to extreme heat only rises as the world urbanizes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turning to the possibilities that exist, Shickman continued, \u201cThat\u2019s why we have to work together to mobilize innovative and replicable solutions that build resilience to extreme heat. The actions we take to build heat resilience can have benefits that are as broad as the dangers that heat poses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One action already underway is the establishment of community climate resilience hubs that provide centralized disaster services, support, and education to residents who are most vulnerable or at high risk during disasters. The Santa Barbara Regional Climate Collaborative, in partnership with CEC, received a grant to plan and design a network of these resilience hubs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an effort to build greater community resilience to extreme climate events, the Community Environmental Council is partnering with Santa Barbara County and several area nonprofits to establish the first three Community Resilience Hubs in our area. These initial hubs will be located in Carpinteria, Cuyama, and\u00a0 Santa Barbara.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hubs are designed and operated by the communities they serve. Individuals and organizations are working together to design and plan what services will be offered at these Hubs, and making plans for how to operate during climate disruptions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cResilience Hubs, designed for the community, by the community,\u00a0 in key locations provide a powerful way to safeguard our communities,\u201d stated Em Johnson, CEC Director of Climate Resilience.\u00a0 When disasters occur, these strategically placed Hubs ensure a plan is already in place so residents know where to go for help. The Hubs will also enable communities to recover, adapt, and continue to thrive in the wake of disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Strategies like this offer scalable, multi-benefit solutions to climate impacts. CEC has been developing and advocating for such practical solutions to environmental challenges for over half a century, stretching back to the organization\u2019s founding. <\/strong>Community members interested in learning more about how Resilience Hubs and other solutions to extreme heat impacts can be implemented in their region are encouraged to attend this interactive, online event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To register: <a href=\"https:\/\/cec.pub\/heatrelease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/cec.pub\/heatrelease<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><u>About The Community Environmental Council: <\/u><\/strong>CEC advances rapid and equitable solutions to the climate crisis \u2013 including ambitious zero carbon goals, drawdown of excess carbon, and protection against the impacts of climate change.
