Accomplishments to Date

Resilient Heat Wave Workshop Executive Summary

The Resilient Bayview Heat Wave Workshop was held on Thursday April 26th, 2018 at the Bayview YMCA. Resilient Bayview’s Vulnerable Populations Working Group focused on health impacts that affect our audience: seniors, people with access and functional needs, and children. There was a total of 54 attendees from different community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and government agencies that caters to the same audience. 

The workshop addressed how climate change affects the health and well-being of Bayview residents during a heatwave. Resilient Bayview collaborated with the Department of Public Health to create a culturally competent Heat Wave Resilience Strategy. Teri Dowling from DPH and Felisia Thibodeaux from Resilient Bayview’s Program Manager presented the Climate and Health aspect. Ganjre Digambar from One Concern presented the heat islands within the Bayview.

The attendees formed small groups to work on an activity called “How Ready Are You?” The attendees were given a heatwave scenario with the map of the Town Center HUB to determine their knowledge of how to navigate their community during times of stress. 

Daniel Homsey and Felisia Thibodeaux introduced the Resilient Bayview Heatwave Resilience Strategy which focused on 4 main aspects of resiliency: individual level, social level, community level, and civic level. Brian Whitlow from SFCARD presented the Heat Relief Center and Cooling Center Strategy to implement during heatwaves.  

In the beginning of the workshop, attendees were given a survey to complete to gauge their organization’s resiliency. At the end, they were given another survey to measure their confidence and understanding of climate change, individual preparedness, and their organization’s preparedness.  

The next steps include: assessing resiliency and preparedness of each organization, onboard HUB members and community partners to join Resilient Bayview, and host preparedness trainings for the Bayview community. 

The partner agencies that attended were Providence Senior Housing, The United Council for Human Services, Mother Brown’s, BMAGIC, Rebuilding Together San Francisco, Visitation Valley Asian Alliance, Wu Yee Children’s Services, Bayview Health and Wellness, Mercy Housing, Institute on Aging, Aging and Disability Resource Center, Bayview Senior Services, and Community Youth Center.
