For Los Angeles Chief Heat Officer Marta Segura, \u201cun-siloing, coordinating and collaborating, and building plans with other departments\u201d is a big part of her work<\/p>\n

With extreme heat on the rise, cities and states across the U.S. will need to rethink their governance structures to protect communities, said government officials and experts at a Thursday webinar led by think tank The Climate Center.<\/p>\n

Sweltering temperatures touch every aspect of residents\u2019 daily lives and require a whole-of-government, cross-departmental approach, said Kelly Turner, associate director of the University of California, Los Angeles, Luskin Center for Innovation. While tech solutions will play a role in mitigating urban heat, \u201cwhere we really need the innovation is in our governance and our regulatory structures because it\u2019s not so easy just to put up a shade structure,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

A stark example of these bureaucratic challenges is Los Angeles\u2019 \u201cLa Sombrita,\u201d a metal structure unveiled last month at four bus stops that provides a small amount of shade during the day and solar-powered light at night. The project was widely derided online for being ineffective and wasteful, but its designers and the city defended it as an experimental effort<\/a> to work around the coordination, years of planning and hundreds of thousands of dollars needed to install even modest infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

In Los Angeles and Phoenix, dedicated chief heat officers are working to streamline these types of efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the outset, a big part of this work has been un-siloing, coordinating and collaborating, and building plans with other departments,\u201d said Los Angeles\u2019 chief heat officer, Marta Segura, who also directs the city\u2019s Office of Climate Emergency Mobilization. Segura called her position unique because it is within the public works department, but she reports directly to the mayor and City Council. <\/p>\n

To get voices from front-line community members into government decision-making, Segura and her team created the Climate Emergency Mobilization Commission<\/a>, which advises the City Council and mayor on how to develop equitable climate policies. The group consists of tribal leaders, labor representatives, youth, climate health experts and people from pollution-burdened areas.<\/p>\n

Segura\u2019s office is working on several plans, but these documents can only go so far, she said. A problem within city government, she said, is \u201cwe get overwhelmed with all of these plans, and … just move on from one plan to another,\u201d she said. \u201cThen we don\u2019t align them as strategic investments or strategic initiatives.\u201d She believes cross-department collaboration can lead to more effective responses to extreme heat.<\/p>\n

Phoenix\u2019s Office of Heat Response and Mitigation is within the city manager\u2019s office. Director David Hondula says he isn\u2019t afraid to cause a little friction if it means spurring meaningful change. In fact, he considers it a measure of success when he receives a phone call from another department that\u2019s concerned about some of his office\u2019s new ideas. \u201cSometimes we joke, when we get in a little bit of trouble here, that the heat office wasn\u2019t created to maintain the status quo,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hondula touted the benefits of regional coordination, pointing to the AZ Heat Resilience Workgroup<\/a>, which consists of about 50 people from various sectors who meet regularly to discuss best practices for extreme heat response. The group, which was created in 2020, meets biweekly in the warm season and monthly in the cooler season, Hondula said. <\/p>\n

Not every jurisdiction<\/a> will be able to have a chief heat officer, noted Braden Kay, who manages California\u2019s Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program in the Governor\u2019s Office of Planning and Research. Local governments that don\u2019t have a role dedicated to extreme heat response can turn to community planners, civil engineers, public works professionals, emergency managers and public health officials, he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to be developing staff capacity and expertise,\u201d Kay said. <\/p>\n

In California, most grassroots extreme heat work and infrastructure implementation should work in partnership with community-based organizations and small businesses, he said.<\/p>\n
