“Heat waves are becoming more frequent, longer, and hotter, not just in Tucson but across the country.  We are grateful for the many researchers and government officials who are studying the issue and making policies to protect our community, and for engaged citizens doing important work on the ground.
 
Come hear about local efforts to support community engagement and the ground-breaking work of groups such as Physicians for Social Responsibility in raising awareness and catalyzing neighborhood preparedness.
 
Speakers will include representatives of the Red Cross, Pima County Health, and the Office of the City Manager.
 
“It is no accident that Tucson is a leader in climate action.  I just bring that forward because that is what you ask of me.”
 – Regina Romero, Mayor, City of Tucson, at the 2nd annual Heat Summit, Feb 1, 2025″

Carolyn’s note: I attended the recent Heat Summit in Tucson at the ENR2 Building. Indeed, the summer of 2024 was the hottest on record here, and Arizona is one of the fastest growing warming states. Learn what the City of Tucson and Pima County are doing in preparation for more heat deaths in 2025.
