Knowledge Exchange for Resilience

The Knowledge Exchange for Resilience co-produces insights and data products created among ASU faculty and researchers together with community practitioners and organizations in Maricopa County and beyond. We work to advance social cohesion, promote economic prosperity, and enhance environmental security to create profound and enduring change that brings resilience dividends. These efforts advance the design aspirations and the charter of ASU through research and discovery of public value for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities we serve. Our work to accomplish this mission centers on data and partnerships. We bring to bear the weight of the university’s intellectual capacity with the knowledge and insights of public agencies, private entities, and civil society, to build resilience -- utilizing insights, exploring hunches, analyzing data, building tools, and creating visualizations as the means to catalyze innovative solutions. This process is iterative and involves activities to share, discover and solve. In addition to peer-reviewed scientific articles, we also often produce reports and briefings with our partners in the form of a short report or white paper that captures some of the findings and recommendations that comes from our community engaged research. This KEEP series seeks to make available and exchange this knowledge with a broader public.

This research aims to collect emergency preparedness data around Arizona to zero in on gaps in heat adoption decision-making and promote structural governance to enforce synchronized deployment of services specifically for residents living in mobile and manufactured housing communities (MMHC). Mobile homes in Maricopa County comprise 5.2% of the total housing stock; 686 mobile home parks throughout the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. A cluster located in the Mesa area totals 92,031 mobile homes in Maricopa County (Heat et al. for Mobile Homes, 2021). This document supplies a package of heat-resilient solutions to MMHC, owners, landlords, and residents for a power outage during and after the event. Findings include recommendations for a collective effort in structuring a Heat Action Plan amongst city departments, utility companies, mobile home residents, AAMHO board members, and any other local ambassadors to prevent deaths in the event of a power outage, specifically during extreme temperature months (May-August). We intend to start mobilizing action to prepare and pivot toward responses to prevent heat-related deaths followed by power outages during the summer. Highlighting the gash in communication between park managers, owners, and landlords with the utility companies is crucial. Consequently, the selected platform for exchanging knowledge with the residents promptly must be addressed beforehand.
