Through United We Prepare, more than 1,200 emergency preparedness kits will be distributed to residents in some of Miami-Dade County’s most hurricane-vulnerable communities. The initiative also features 10 heat and hurricane preparedness workshops hosted by The CLEO Institute and community distribution events focused on reaching neighborhoods most at-risk during hurricane season.
Miami-Dade County posts heat-related information on a trilingual website and partners with organizations like The CLEO Institute, a climate justice organization that is a “trusted voice in the community,” to help distill information, Levine Cava said.
“Race for Our Future® is more than a 5K. It’s a powerful reminder that climate action starts at the community level and every step taken represents a commitment to protecting our environment, strengthening our resilience, and securing a healthier future for the next generation.”
Workshops, forums, and hands-on activities throughout the week will highlight solutions such as resilient infrastructure to mitigate flooding, strategies to address extreme heat, emerging climate research, and neighborhood-level nature-based solutions.
