LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Community members are invited to take the Lake County Climate Vulnerability Analysis survey.

The deadline to complete the survey is Thursday, Sept. 18.

The survey responses will help local officials complete the climate adaptation plan, the community's roadmap for preparing for and responding to climate challenges.

The comprehensive climate vulnerability analysis found:

• Wildfire and smoke pose the greatest climate risks countywide.

• Most vulnerable populations include outdoor workers, households in poverty, tribal community members, and people with chronic illnesses/disabilities.

• Most at-risk community assets include energy infrastructure, homes, transportation systems and agriculture.

This five to 10 minute survey asks for your thoughts on our findings, ideas for building resilience, and barriers to implementing climate solutions. 

County officials said the lived experience of residents and local knowledge are essential to ensuring the climate adaptation plan reflects community needs.
