| 651 | 2018 | 54113 | City of Flagstaff | Flagstaff | United States of America | North America | CDP Cities, ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability, WWF | public | Forest fire | Other: Forest management and restoration | Implementation | The Coconino National Forest, which surrounds Flagstaff, has invested considerable energy and resources in restoring forest ecosystems and reducing fire danger over the past decade, and has treated hundreds of thousands of acres. Likewise, the City of Flagstaff has pioneered efforts within the City itself, and has worked pro-actively with various partners, including the Greater Flagstaff Forests Partnership (GFFP), and land management agencies for years to restore forests and reduce fire risk to the community at-large.During the November 2012 elections, residents of Flagstaff, AZ overwhelmingly approved a $10 million bond to support forest restoration work within key watersheds on the Coconino National Forest and on State and City lands. Identified on the ballot as the “Forest Health and Water Supply Protection Project,” this initiative has now become known as the “Flagstaff Watershed Protection Project.” This is one of only a handful of examples in the country where forest restoration work on the National Forests is being funded by a municipality, and the only known instance where such an effort is funded from municipal bonds. http://flagstaffwatershedprotection.org/ | 71975 | 2017 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-111.631, 35.1992]} | 2019-10-16T18:32:22.947 | |||||||

The City’s district energy system, Lonsdale Energy, is now incorporating cooling service to deal with increased cooling needs. The City also provides cooling stations - water park features for families with young children, particularly important features in a highly urbanized municipality. Furthermore, all of the City’s natural forested areas are protected as parkland, offering cooler recreational areas and mitigating the urban heat island effect. | 52898 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-123.072, 49.32]} | 2019-10-16T18:32:22.947 | |||||||

Water supply planning is important to the City of Houston in order to meet long term growth in demand and to comply with 30 TAC Chapter 288 that requires the City to prepare and implement a water conservation plan that meets certain requirements. This plan includes information to fulfill these requirements in addition to information specific to the City of Houston’s water supply and treatment systems. The current plan includes measures to be taken internally at the City of Houston as well as programs for water customers. These include current programs such as an in-house public education program, continued enforcement of water-wise building and plumbing codes and the Consumption Awareness Program designed to allow water customers to determine the most effective methods to maximize water-use efficiency inside and outside the home through communicating real-time meter data to household users. This document also summarizes plans to develop an internal Water Loss Program, pilot a Mainline Leak Detection Program and expand the Consumption Awareness Program. | 2349993 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-95.3694, 29.7602]} | 2019-10-16T18:32:22.947 | |||||||

This possibility will be considered in Medford's forthcoming climate adaptation plan. | 57797 | 2017 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-122.876, 42.3265]} | 2019-10-16T18:32:22.947 | |||||||
