The project focuses on building a centralized online knowledge base for extreme heat preparedness in Vancouver. The resource categorizes strategies from various organizations to address heat risks to foster collaboration, reduce duplication, and enhance policy advocacy, ultimately supporting vulnerable populations in the face of extreme heat events. This resource will be periodically updated to ensure it remains a dynamic tool to access the latest information on heat preparedness measures.
