This project has concluded. The survey ran September 15 to October 2, 2022. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Thank you for dropping by.
We are seeking your feedback on the City's actions and response in relation to this summer’s Heat Warnings and Air Quality Advisory.
This year, three Heat Warnings and one Air Quality Advisory were declared for the region, including Richmond. For each of them, the City took proactive actions focusing on people’s safety and assisting in reducing heat and poor air quality related health risks.
Background
With the changes in climate, the City of Richmond will continue to experience hot weather more frequently.
Based on lessons identified from the 2021 extreme heat events and the new BC Heat Alert and Response System, the City updated its Extreme Heat and Poor Air Quality Operations Guide for the 2022 season. This Operations Guide outlines the steps taken by the City before, during and after a heat or poor air quality event.
As of September 2022, the City of Richmond experienced three Heat Warnings. A Heat Warning is characterized by temperatures forecasted to a high of 29°C, a low of 16°C, followed by a high of 29°C consecutively. These conditions present moderate public health risks and are expected to occur 1 to 3 times a summer season.
As of September 2022, the City of Richmond has experienced one Air Quality Advisory, caused by smoke from wildfires burning in Manning Park, Hope, and Washington state.
For every declared Heat Warning and Air Quality Advisory, the City took proactive actions to prepare and reduce risk for residents.

We would like to know what went well and how we can better support residents for future heat and poor air quality responses.
