- Use existing and develop new tools to enhance the utility and use of evidence and data in policy analysis and development, such as NIHHIS’ “Maturity Model for Heat Governance” and the NOAA-funded Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard (PIRS) for Heat.
- Collaborate and support the NIHHIS Center for Heat Resilient Communities.
- Lead the formulation of an action plan for the interagency National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) aimed at improving climate services and information to support heat action initiatives across government sectors.
