Community Impacts of Extreme Heat

Identifying interventions to strengthen resilience during extreme heat events needs to be a community effort; it is important that our work centers the voices of the community. Here, we welcome you to interact with the lived experiences of community members in Spokane and learn about opportunities to participate in our ongoing research efforts.

Community Survey Results

In Summer 2022, we launched our community survey to better understand the perceptions and experiences of extreme heat in Spokane, WA and concluded the survey in November 2022 with 1,799 responses. We acknowledge and thank the Indiana University Resilience Institute for allowing us to make use of portions of their survey. Check back as we will be sharing our findings soon!

Data Walk

In April 2023, we are hosting a series of neighborhood-based community Data Walks in Spokane, WA inspired by Urban Institute.

A Data Walk is an interactive way of sharing research findings from our Beat the Heat survey and engaging community members as citizen scientists. During a Data Walk, we will use facilitated discussion methods and ask participants to interpret different data sets.
