In 2023, CAPA worked with a regional utility to analyze energy usage patterns during the 2021 Heat Dome and beyond. CAPA produced a spatial index of heat vulnerability and analyzed hourly energy use by sociodemographic category to produce insights of variability across populations.

Jackson, MS

Jackson Microparks

In order to address frequent flooding in the West Jackson neighborhood of Mississippi, CAPA performed a hydrological and site suitability analysis to prioritize the most impactful sites for building green stormwater infrastructure. An interactive web tool enabled 2C Mississippi to explore the analysis results.

Using high-resolution hazard projection data, CAPA programmatically analyzed and then visualized the local and regional impacts of community-prioritized hazards in partnership with multiple jurisdictions in Clark County.
