Urban Adapt LLC is a consulting group focused on the design and development of heat risk assessments and climate adaptation plans for cities. Our approach to heat risk assessment estimates all dimensions of human heat vulnerability, including population exposure to extreme air temperatures, health impacts at the neighborhood scale, and household adaptive capacity. Through the mapping of both extreme temperatures and heat-related deaths by neighborhood, coupled with the simulation of how health outcomes change in response to heat management strategies, Urban Adapt is the only consulting group combining high-resolution heat risk mapping with neighborhood-scale health impact assessment.
