Identify additional opportunities to enhance the capacity of facilities (such as the Casino) to become Resilience Hubs, evacuation and clean air centers, cooling centers, and charging stations, during extreme heat or weather events. Communities across the country are developing Resilience Hubs to enhance the ability of public buildings to serve the community during extreme weather events. For example, Resilience Hubs can be designed to have effective smoke and particulate filtration systems, ensuring the health and well-being of residents, especially during an emergency. These designated hubs should be located outside of high risk zones and can incorporate solar and battery storage systems to provide for cooling, water, power, and communications during power outages and reduce utility costs during daily operations. Multiple Tribal buildings already serve this function to some capacity, but the Tribe can greatly benefit from a coordinated approach to developing designated Resilience Hubs within the community.
