Climate change is making extreme heat events more frequent and more deadly, particularly in underserved communities with limited resources.

I'm proud to announce the release of "How to Survive a Heatwave in the Hood" - a practical survival guide that addresses the real challenges faced by urban communities during extreme weather events.

Heatwaves don’t hit the same for everybody.

If you live in the hood, you already know—when summer turns up, it’s more than just sweating through your shirt. It’s blackouts in the projects because the grid can’t handle the demand. It’s asphalt and concrete trapping heat like an oven, making your block 10 degrees hotter than the suburbs. It’s no AC because the landlord won’t fix the unit, or the electric bill is too high. And when the wet-bulb temps rise (that deadly mix of heat + humidity), people start dying —disproportionately Black, Brown, poor, and elderly.

This isn’t just about comfort. This is about survival.
