What You'll Do: Help collect real-time temperature, humidity, and solar radiation data using walking, biking, or vehicle-based sensors Why It Matters: Traditional heat alerts often miss small, high-risk hotspots. Your data will help create detailed heat maps to identify where cooling solutions are most needed No Experience Needed! We provide all equipment and training Results will support better heat alerts, urban design, and public health planning By helping collect heat data, YOU can be a part of improving health and safety in your neighborhood.
