Para abordar la salud pública, el personal comenzó con la creación de una herramienta en línea de cartografía de riesgos climáticos para determinar las exposiciones climáticas a escala de vecindario. De las cinco vulnerabilidades analizadas hasta el momento, se identificó el calor extremo como el mayor riesgo para Longmont. Los esfuerzos para abordar la adaptación al clima y la salud pública se han centrado en el calor extremo. Véanse ejemplos de acciones emprendidas en la sección Tareas más abajo.
Los esfuerzos de la municipalidad en materia de calor extremo han sido reconocidos por el programa Ciudades Resiliencia al Clima de AT&T para recibir apoyo técnico adicional y financiamiento para implementar el enfriamiento en los hogares más afectados por el calor.
Sustainability, Parks, and Community and Neighborhood Resources are utilizing 2024 Sustainability Tax funds and ARPA funds to implement community-driven cooling solutions identified in 2023 in the Kensington, Lanyon, and Spangler community parks.
AT&T provided funding to the Longmont Community Foundation to support indoor cooling for households impacted by extreme heat. The City is working in partnership with the Community Foundation and community-based organizations that provide services and resources to heat-impacted residents to identify people that could best utilize this resource. Units will be available while funding lasts.
While the original goal was to assist 10-12 households, the program's outreach and impact exceeded expectations. A total of 86 households have received energy retrofits to date in 2025, underscoring a strong demand for and need for energy assistance. This includes 38 single-family and 48 multifamily households that benefited from retrofit upgrades. These comprehensive retrofits integrate energy efficiency, housing rehabilitation, and building electrification to improve heat resilience while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and household utility cost burdens. The program will continue into 2026.
While the original goal was to assist 10-12 households, the program's outreach and impact exceeded expectations. A total of 24 single family, and 10 multifamily households received energy retrofits in 2024, demonstrating a strong demand and need for energy assistance. These retrofits combine energy efficiency, housing rehabilitation and building electrification to enhance heat resilience while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and utility cost burden. This pilot program will continue through the end of 2025.
An initial staff training was conducted in June 2024, with additional support for implementation ongoing.
The recommendations from the Heat Action Plan will be incorporated into the Longmont Indicators platform.
