Consider different lighting options, such as lights combined with solar and storage, motion -sensor lights, <br />moon -sensor lights, or removing lights in areas that are over lit to maximize energy savings <br />CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE <br />Critical infrastructure includes buildings like hospitals, schools, community centers, and emergency responder <br />centers. These are places where it is necessary to maintain operations in the event of an emergency or a public <br />health crisis like a prolonged heatwave. Disruption of power to these facilities limits the ability to effectively <br />respond to the needs of residents. Many of these facilities have back-up generators, which are often fueled by <br />diesel or natural gas. Advances in solar and storage technologies are increasing the feasibility of replacing fossil <br />fuel generators with cleaner, more reliable alternatives. <br />City Action <br />The city can pair clean energy and storage to provide renewable energy and reliable back-up power to critical <br />facilities. <br />• Use the table below to identify critical infrastructure and current back-up power types <br />• Research opportunities to install solar and storage for daily power supply as well back-up power <br />• Ensure any solar and storage installation can function safely as a microgrid in case of a power disruption <br />• Install solar storage systems above water lines from any potential flooding <br />Facility 1 Police Station Facility 2 Fire Station 1 <br />Type Emergency Response Type Emergency Re <br />Address Address <br />Generator Yes/No Generator Yes/No <br />Generator Tvpe Back-up power type: <br />Resources: <br />• National Renewable Energy Lab (NREQ: Distributed Solar PV For Electricity System Resilience <br />
