CT Summer Heat Wave Webinar learning from heat sensor research and implications for future climate Recording
Heat waves that Connecticut residents experienced this summer are expected to become more frequent and severe, which can be dangerous to human health and require additional understanding and planning. As the summer season came to a close, CIRCA hosted this webinar for participants to learn about: 1) CIRCAís heat sensor summer research project; 2) How the City of Norwalk is taking steps to proactively address the threat of extreme heat waves; and 3) Why zoning ordinances offer an opportunity to shape land use policy and create communities more resilient to heat.
How heat affects health: An overlooked outcome of climate change
CIRCA uses that data for what it calls its†Climate Change Vulnerability Index, which has†mapped Fairfield and New Haven counties for their heat and flood risks. Mapping for the rest of the state is underway and should be complete by the end of the year
