Join Prepare. Respond. Recover. as we explore the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s prize competitions on strengthening the nation\u2019s resilience to climate change. The \u201cCooling Solutions Challenge\u201d is part of DHS\u2019s effort to implement a proactive approach to climate change resilience. DHS is looking for novel ways to protect those at risk of heat-related illness or death, including first responders, households or group quarters without access to conventional cooling systems or are experiencing sustained power outages, plus displaced or homeless populations. Relative to current cooling solutions, these new designs will be more eco-friendly and energy-efficient, while being cost-effective, scalable, durable, and allowing for alternate power sources.
