Miami-Dade appointed the first US Chief Heat Officer in 2021 and adopted an Extreme Heat Action Plan addressing outdoor workers, cooling centers, tree canopy, and cool surfaces across the county.
The Office of Resilience hosts the Chief Heat Officer, who coordinates the 2022 Extreme Heat Action Plan. The plan identifies vulnerable neighborhoods using heat maps, expands cooling centers during heat advisories, supports outdoor worker protections, and funds tree planting in low-canopy areas. County departments work with municipalities on cool roofs, shade structures at bus stops, and reflective pavement pilots. The plan does not create direct private mandates but guides grants, capital projects, and partnerships. Public Housing applies cooling-priority repairs during designated heat events.
No direct penalties; the plan steers funding and capital priorities rather than imposing private compliance obligations.
