Client Challenge

A regional strategy director is responsible for prioritizing annual resilience investments across multiple urban districts. With limited budgets and public pressure mounting, they must decide which neighborhoods to fund first. Existing datasets are too broad, providing only regional averages that fail to highlight areas where heat risk intersects with social vulnerability. This lack of clarity exposes decision-making to political risk and can result in interventions that do not deliver measurable public benefit.

FortyGuard's Solution

FortyGuard’s Temperature API (starting at $79/month), part of our detailed heat analytics platform, provides policy makers with precise heat intelligence measured at 2 meters above the ground with 10 m² spatial resolution. The API integrates directly into existing planning and funding systems, enabling data-driven prioritization of cooling investments and policy interventions. Decision-makers gain a transparent framework for explaining resource allocation to both regulators and the public, supported by advisory input for policy integration.
