Hi folks,
We know we've been dealing with some extreme heat this summer. That's why I met with President Joe Biden virtually to announce action to protect communities from extreme heat.

Here are some of the things we are doing locally:
*
Creating
a
network
of
cooling
centers
and
distributing
cooling
kits
to
at-risk
individuals.
*
Creating
the
Cool
Callers
program,
where
volunteers
check
on
vulnerable
residents.
*
Investing
in
one
of
the
world's
largest
cool
pavement
programs,
where
a
lighter
color
coating
is
applied
to
city
streets.
*
Planting
trees,
including
developing
a
Residential
Tree
Equity
Accelerator
to
plant
20,000
trees
across
25
neighborhoods.
*
Distributing
heat
relief
grants
to
engage
nonprofits
and
faith
organizations.
*
Establishing
the
nation's
first
publicly
funded
municipal
heat
office
to
coordinate
solutions.
Phoenix continues to be at the front lines of climate change. Our city employees and volunteers are working diligently to keep residents safe through targeted outreach.
I appreciate President Biden's support, which includes help for residents to pay energy bills and invest in energy efficiency to lower those bills. I have been working to pass legislation so that FEMA can recognize extreme heat as an eligible category for federal disaster aid.
Thank you to everyone who has been working to get us through this hot summer.
Stay cool,
Mayor Kate Gallego
