Spokane, Washington, is actively enhancing its climate resilience through community engagement initiatives. On December 10, 2024, the city will launch a climate planning survey inviting residents to share their experiences and concerns regarding climate hazards; the survey will be available in six languages to reach a broader audience. This effort highlights the city's commitment to inclusivity and participation in climate adaptation strategies. In conjunction with the survey, an open house is scheduled for landlords, property managers, and tenants to discuss the Regulation of Residential Rental Housing ordinance, SMC 10. 57, which aims to ensure fair practices and transparency in residential rental housing.

By facilitating these discussions, Spokane seeks to create a collaborative environment where community members can voice their needs and concerns. This proactive approach addresses immediate local issues and lays the groundwork for sustainable urban development. Residents are encouraged to participate in these initiatives to contribute to a more resilient and informed Spokane.
