The LADWP's 'Cool LA' plan would help low-income and elderly customers cool their homes at a lower cost.
The LADWP is considering a plan to help elderly, low-income, and medically-compared people stay cool as climate change turns up the temperature.
LADWP's Board of Commissioners will take public comment from community-based organizations and advocates on the proposed plan at their meeting Tuesday. They have also invited input from City Plants, which is partnering with the utility on tree planting efforts, and representatives of Pacoima Beautiful and Enterprise Community Partners on the impacts of extreme heat on seniors and youth, especially in low-income and disadvantaged areas.
The site will gather maps, data, and information from several areas of the government, including NOAA, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the CDC.
