Expand use of public facilities (libraries, community centers, etc.) as warming/cooling centers for vulnerable populations during extreme weather events, and assess facility needs in order to automatically open these facilities as extreme weather centers when conditions require. (Hazards addressed: Severe Weather) Promote passive cooling design (brise soleil, long roof overhangs, locating windows away from southern facades, etc.) in new developments during the design review process. (Hazards addressed: Extreme Heat) Upgrade HVAC within City facilities to more efficient systems that may include split systems or decentralized systems that allow for heating and cooling the spaces needed, not entire buildings. (Hazards addressed: Extreme Heat) Evaluate the long-term capacity of designated cooling centers and shelters in the City to provide enough relief from extreme heat. Assess the need to expand services as the frequency, length, and severity of future heatwaves potentially change as a result of climate change. (Hazards addressed: Extreme Heat) Conduct outreach to residents and businesses prior to the severe winds (Santa Ana Wind events) on proper tree maintenance and identification of potentially hazardous trees. (Hazards addressed: Severe Wind)
