Specifications include , but are not limited to : Task 1 - Identify and characterize locations that are vulnerable to extreme heat Objective 1 . 1 : Utilize various indices and factors to create an “ Extreme Heat Vulnerable Location ” criteria . Utilize various indices and factors , including weather and climate , healthcare , and social and physical infrastructure , socioeconomic and demographic factors , to locate and characterize geographic areas that face disproportionate impacts from extreme heat . The assessment should be conducted at a level of granularity no coarser than ZIP Code or equivalent . In designing their research , the proposer shall incorporate CalHeatScore , a mix of other publicly available indices and factors , and 3 - 6 additional factors that may or may not be readily available in public datasets but could be derived from other sources . Where feasible , proposers shall seek to understand how the selected indices and factors relate to the CalHeatScore index . 1 . Indices that combined with the CalHeatScore index can capture extreme heat vulnerability , include but are not limited to : a . California Healthy Places Index : Extreme Heat Edition b .
