Coping with Extreme Heat in California

Over the last decade, California experienced several record heat days and climate change is projected to increase the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme heat events across the state. With compounding climate stressors such as drought, it is important to monitor, prepare for, respond, and recover from extreme heat events. 

NOTE: If you know of any extreme heat resources relevant to California’s natural and working lands that are not on this list, please contact the California Climate Hub Science Communication Specialist, Amelia Oxarart.
