Critical Facilities and Community Infrastructure Lack Resilient Power and Sustained Funding. Many cooling centers, shelters, community centers, and water facilities lack reliable backup power, undermining emergency response during heat waves and wildfires. Fragmented, short-term funding; complex permitting; limited technical assistance; and lack of operational dollars prevent communities from developing and sustaining resilience hubs, microgrids, and clean backup power at scale.
