Climate Resiliency Planning
Climate Resiliency Project
Project Overview
The City of Airway Heights is developing a new sub element for its 2026 Comprehensive Plan update addressing Climate Change and Resiliency. This plan will evaluate the potential impacts of climate change on natural hazards that pose the greatest risks to the City’s people, infrastructure, and economy.
This study seeks to address climate change and resiliency elements that will later become an addition to the City’s 2026 Comprehensive Plan. This study will identify Airway Heights’ specific climate hazards, which will then be analyzed and combined into a unified and cohesive Climate Hazard & Social Vulnerability Report. In addition to identifying risks and vulnerabilities, this report will include a preliminary overview of potential strategies to mitigate hazards in Airway Heights, providing guidance in effective and equitable climate hazard-mitigation projects. The results will inform climate and sustainability reporting, supplementing the City’s upcoming Comprehensive Plan update.
The engagement team is currently conducting outreach efforts to key stakeholders, interested and affected parties, and the general public to ensure that the resulting Report is rooted in the local context of the City of Airway Heights and accurately reflects the concerns and needs of its people.
