HyLo Receives Support from AT&T as part of Climate Resiliency Community Challenge

On February 6, 2020, AT&T and the AT&T Foundation announced the selection of five universities to conduct research that will help communities in the southeastern United States build resilience to climate change.

The HyLo team and the University of Miami received $50,000 from AT&T for our community-based work that both assesses risk and engages local governments in climate adaptation and resilience planning. In partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy Argonne National Laboratory, the HyLo team also received locally-relevant data that will inform our work in developing interactive maps and our Integrated Climate Risk Assessment (ICRA) model.

The Climate Resiliency Community Challenge is part of AT&T’s broader Climate Resiliency Project, an industry-leading effort to evaluate and address the risks of climate change.
