NOAA seeks applicants for 2022 urban heat island initiative
NOAA will provide funding to CAPA Strategies to support campaigns in approximately 8-10 communities in 2022. Applications are due by 5 PM Eastern on Friday, January 14, 2022. Applicants will be notified of the outcome by early February 2022.

The campaigns involving community members and scientists will work to map the hottest areas of their communities to learn where action is needed to protect vulnerable populations now and in the future.
The mapping campaigns are run by a participating city’s local citizen science organizations, and rely on volunteers to travel around the city using sensors attached to cars to collect data on temperature, humidity, time and GPS location. The resulting maps provide a detailed analysis of the distribution of heat in the morning, afternoon and evening. These public campaigns raise awareness of the growing health issue of urban heat islands (UHI), and inform interventions to address extreme heat such as tree planting, smart surfaces, and incorporation into climate action plans.
"The climate crisis is accelerating and exposing inequities such as urban heat islands in communities across the nation,” said Rick Spinrad, Ph.D., NOAA administrator. “As part of NOAA’s effort to build equity into every aspect of our operations, we are pleased to be partnering with CAPA Strategies and local groups to create maps that will help communities address the growing health problems of extreme heat.”
For the past four years, over three dozen cities across the U.S. have participated in the UHI mapping campaign. Communities in 11 states participated in the 2021 campaign, which finished data collection in September. Mapping reports from these communities will be released on a rolling basis through December.
