Extreme Heat and Community Resilience 2026 Extreme Heat Action Plan Resources
This page is an archive of resources for the 2026 Extreme Heat Action Plan.
California’s Extreme Heat Action Plan outlines a strategic and comprehensive set of state actions to address extreme heat. Actions in the plan are organized around four tracks: building public awareness, strengthening community response, increasing the resilience of our built environment, and utilizing nature-based solutions. These tracks include established and recommended state actions to address extreme heat.
California committed to updating the Extreme Heat Action Plan in 2026 and every three years thereafter (SB 306, Caballero 2023) to promote comprehensive, coordinated, and effective state and local government action on extreme heat. Updates follow a cyclical timeline consisting primarily of interagency collaboration, drafting the update, public engagement and outreach, drafting, public comment, and finalizing the draft.
2026 Extreme Heat Action Plan Public Comment Workshops
The Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) and the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) will be hosting virtual and in-person workshops as well as Tribal engagement throughout the public comment period.
Workshops will feature 90 minutes of formal programming by the state on EHAP. They will provide an overview of the EHAP process and content, serve as an opportunity to give general and track-specific feedback, and highlight heat resources offered by the state.
