This study evaluates a Tribal- and community-led Climate Adaptation and Resilience Intervention (CARI) in rural, underserved communities in Lake County, California. The intervention is delivered in trusted community settings serving populations disproportionately affected by extreme heat. Using a cluster randomized controlled design, the study will assess whether the intervention reduces self-reported heat-related illness symptoms and increases preventive heat behaviors and measures of individual and community resilience over a six-month follow-up period. The intervention includes heat preparedness training, distribution of heat resilience kits, and community-based engagement activities.
