Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration this week announced a plan for addressing extreme heat that includes recommendations on how to monitor deaths caused by heat waves and the possible establishment of temperature limits for residential units.
The release of the plan follows the publication of a Los Angeles Times investigation that revealed that California has done a poor job tracking the number of people who have died due to extreme heat and has largely failed to provide resources to communities that are most vulnerable to the effects of heat and global warming.
"Extreme heat threatens public health and safety, economic prosperity and communities and natural systems, with profoundly disproportionate consequences for the most vulnerable Californians," California Natural Resources Agency officials said in a statement.
The Extreme Heat Action Plan, released Monday, is essentially an update of the state's 2013 recommendations.
While there is some funding, Parfrey said, there needs to be additional significant investment for pilot programs that he believes could yield tremendous returns in the future. Some of these programs could be as simple as building shelters and water fountains at key bus stops or as complex as finding ways to reduce the heat captured in cities.
Perhaps one of the most significant recommendations looks into establishing a temperature limit for residences. California law and building codes require residential units to have heating, but there is no requirement for air conditioning.

“Same with Orange county FL, except they still wear shorts and sandles.”
No sandals for me, when my feet get cold I get cold. But it’s shorts all year round. A down vest when it’s cold.
To entice citizens to move there. Once there, it was tough shit; you’re staying.
Hourly wet t-shirt contests.

The electric rates are sky high at approx 20 cents a kw due to the democrat policies and to help pay the pensions of state workers.
You freeze in the winter and broil in the summer due to the democrat party.
