Climate Work

The big question / How might we...?

Can the County identify individuals with special vulnerabilities to the effects of climate change, and provide them with services to prevent or mitigate harm?

Type (project or consultation):

Consultation 

When:

Summer 2022 to June 2024

Process/what we did:

Through research and collaboration with Department of County Human Services (DCHS) divisions and County Emergency Management, a survey instrument was designed to address the most important aspects related to determining customer vulnerability. Conducting the survey, analyzing the data, and building a set of recommendations for implementation will begin with a cross-department team led by the DCHS Project Manager.

Outcome/Impact:

This project is ongoing, and we look forward to the impact of the project.
