Description
Across agencies, plans, and programs, King County is working to strengthen a regional response to climate hazards. Yet there are ongoing gaps that create barriers for frontline communities to necessary information and resources in real time. The County will partner with agency and community partners to identify persistent gaps and develop goals and implement strategies to address them. Actions may include developing social network mapping to show how groups across geographies are or are not interacting and where additional investments are needed for maximum impact. Investments could look like focused distribution of culturally relevant and in language communications (see SRFC 9), training on how to respond to extreme weather events (see PREP 20 and PREP 21), emergency response coordination (see SRFC 18), and developing a better understanding of how and where resource hubs could benefit frontline communities.
