Description
This research aims to collect emergency preparedness data around Arizona to zero in on gaps in heat adoption decision-making and promote structural governance to enforce synchronized deployment of services specifically for residents living in mobile and manufactured housing communities (MMHC). Mobile homes in Maricopa County comprise 5.2% of the total housing stock; 686 mobile home parks throughout the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. A cluster located in the Mesa area totals 92,031 mobile homes in Maricopa County (Heat et al. for Mobile Homes, 2021). This document supplies a package of heat-resilient solutions to MMHC, owners, landlords, and residents for a power outage during and after the event. Findings include recommendations for a collective effort in structuring a Heat Action Plan amongst city departments, utility companies, mobile home residents, AAMHO board members, and any other local ambassadors to prevent deaths in the event of a power outage, specifically during extreme temperature months (May-August). We intend to start mobilizing action to prepare and pivot toward responses to prevent heat-related deaths followed by power outages during the summer. Highlighting the gash in communication between park managers, owners, and landlords with the utility companies is crucial. Consequently, the selected platform for exchanging knowledge with the residents promptly must be addressed beforehand.
