eBook: City climate resilience

Sudden severe weather affects us all, from wildfires to flash floods and concentrated air pollution. Cities today are looking to protect local communities from the rising number of extreme weather and environmental events resulting from climate change. But resiliency requires a proactive approach, starting with local observations.

This guide explores how to use compact weather and air quality sensors, ceilometers, present weather detectors and thunderstorm tracking information to increase awareness and help vulnerable populations.
