Be A Buddy: A Community-Based Climate Health Resiliency Pilot Project
DOHMH and FPHNY seeks to strengthen the capacity of New York City residents, communities, and the organizations that serve them to withstand extreme weather emergencies by increasing social cohesion, which will increase community resilience and reduce vulnerabilities to adverse health impacts of extreme weather. To this end, it is launching Be a Buddy NYC, a community-led preparedness model that promotes social cohesion. The initiative is a two-year pilot that will promote community resiliency to extreme heat and other weather emergencies in key heat-vulnerable communities in the South Bronx, Upper Manhattan, and Central Brooklyn. Local organizations, supported by DOHMH and FPHNY, will create an infrastructure that can disseminate extreme weather preparedness and safety messaging during non-emergency periods and, during emergency periods, activate and document check-ins to help those most at-risk for health impacts during extreme heat events.
