Our Communities, Our Bay
Our Communities, Our Bay (OCOB) is a five year project dedicated to better understanding how climate hazards affect communities in San Mateo County – specifically in Belle Haven, East Palo Alto, North Fair Oaks, and Redwood City. To do this, CRC, alongside Stanford University and El Concilio of San Mateo County, will conduct a long-term study with households at-risk of wildfire smoke, extreme heat, and flooding. The goal of this research is to find potential strategies for climate resilience, as well as to test technology that may improve health.
CRC is currently enrolling participants for the study.
Study Participation
Study Benefits
A PurpleAir™ air sensor
Everyone who joins the study will get to use an air sensor, and help us understand how climate hazards affect your community. Data from the air sensor can help you make decisions to protect your health when air quality gets bad. This is important because indoor air quality is related to respiratory health –the better the air quality, the better you breathe.
All participants are also eligible to receive up to $290, and a chance to win $1000 or a free iPad Pro over the next three years.
