Heat Waves

“I think it needs to start with our infrastructure. A lot of the existing buildings—Denver Housing Authority buildings, Section 8 housing apartment complexes—are without air conditioning.” (Community Voices Vol. 1, Page 17)

Air Quality

I know asthma rates are higher. I know the hospitals in the area, especially in Alamosa, have said that on days where it's real windy, they see an uptick of people coming into the ER with respiratory issues. Pretty closely tied. (Community Voices Vol. 1, Page 13)
