Partner with communities most impacted by climate hazards to map and assess existing assets that support communities outside of, during, and after hazard events, and support enhancements of such hubs of community resilience.
Maintain, update, and use the countywide Climate Vulnerability Assessment to assess high-risk infrastructure assets and guide priority investments, projects, programs, and policy changes to address social and physical infrastructure risks.
Support the development and implementation of advanced clean technology, such as virtual power plants, vehicle-to-grid or vehicle-to-building technology, and microgrids, to build a more equitable and resilient grid.
Develop and implement a County Heat Action Plan to ensure that communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems can thrive in the face of rising temperatures and more extreme heat.
Establish a collaborative regional approach to develop and implement a coastal resilience and adaptation program that uses sea level rise projections and environmental justice principles to protect public health and safety and coastal habitats and economies.
Develop a whole-home hazards retrofit program, including direct install support, for sustainable and resilient building upgrades that address risks, such as fire, heat, flood, drought, seismic events, and indoor air quality.
Collaborate with climate-vulnerable communities, local organizations, and other community-based organizations to enhance capacity to engage in, plan for, and co-create programs and projects solutions for sustainability and climate resilience challenges.
Collaborate with County departments, academic institutions, local Tribes, nongovernmental organizations, local jurisdictions, and other partners to review lessons learned from past disasters and apply insights to proactively strengthen preparedness, response, and resilience strategies.
Continue to adopt CALGreen Tier 1 green building standards and seek opportunities to adopt Tier 2 standards in alignment with County priorities and goals.

Maximize cool roof and solar and battery installation at the Los Angeles County Development Authority’s low-income housing facilities.
Provide technical assistance to building owners and operators to take action on County priorities, such as energy efficiency, decarbonization, water management, and indoor air quality.
In alignment with the County’s Safe, Clean Water Program, invest in multi-benefit, nature-based stormwater management solutions that diversify and increase reliability of the water supply, reduce dependency on imported water, reduce impermeable area, and increase green space and vegetation, and maximize benefits to Native and disadvantaged communities.
Implement and adaptively manage the County Water Plan to realize the local water supply plan to maximize both centralized and decentralized sources, including large recycling projects, groundwater, stormwater capture, and the use of alternative water sources, such as gray water and rainwater, in addition to improved and efficient regional conveyance of water.
In alignment with the County Water Plan, support efforts to clean contaminated aquifers and protect groundwater basins from seawater intrusion and other pollutants.
In alignment with the County Water Plan, advocate for a collaborative approach to partnering with the region's various groundwater managers to sustainably manage regional groundwater basins and develop a regional stormwater-aquifer model to improve groundwater recharge.
Implement and adaptively manage existing programs to ensure effective, well-maintained flood-risk mitigation infrastructure to communities and include a mechanism to facilitate the reporting of incidents by residents/municipalities to help identify and address chronic local flooding issues.
