The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has developed this Quick Guide as a critical resource to support communities in increasing resilience to the climate hazard of extreme heat. This Quick Guide provides HUD grantees with the necessary steps to evaluate their community’s vulnerability, plan for extreme heat events, and implement local mitigation strategies to enhance resilience. Additionally, it includes links to resources and funding avenues to empower HUD grantees for resilience against extreme heat. The guide is based on the climate risk management framework shown below, and the associated steps towards resilience, stressing continuous evaluation and centered on equity, to systematically mitigate risks and build community resilience.
