波士顿高温应急桌推方案获NOAA挑战赛优胜：华埠列重点社区、奖金2.5万美元
马萨诸塞州萨福克县波士顿市消息：一项以波士顿为场景的高温应急桌推方案10月31日被公布为美国国家海洋和大气管理局气候项目办公室2026年国家综合高温健康信息系统高温桌推设计挑战赛的优胜作品之一。该方案名为「波士顿高温护盾」，由乌里·卡尔通提交，在全国40个获奖方案之列，获得2.5万美元奖金，用于支持一次社区高温桌推演练。
方案设想了一场持续多日的高温紧急事件：夜间高温持续不退，局部电力承压，交通与卫生服务同时吃紧，演练聚焦的社区包括罗克斯伯里、东波士顿、华埠和多切斯特，参与者需要就实际决策展开推演。
作者表示，演练计划主要在线上进行，以真实公共数据为基础，目前规划仍处于早期阶段，欢迎波士顿地区公共卫生、应急准备和社区组织方面的人士参与。华埠被列为重点社区之一，人口密集、老年居民较多的社区如何获得降温、电力保障和健康服务支持，成为城市防灾规划中受关注的议题。

Boston Heat Tabletop Plan Wins NOAA Challenge Award with Chinatown among Focus Neighborhoods
Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts — A Boston heat-emergency tabletop plan was named on October 31 as one of the winners of the 2026 National Integrated Heat Health Information System Heat Tabletop Design Challenge, run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Program Office. The plan, called Boston HeatShield, was submitted by Uri Kartoun and was among 40 winning entries nationwide, receiving a $25,000 prize to support a community heat tabletop exercise.
The scenario imagines a multi-day heat emergency with overnight temperatures staying high, localized stress on the power supply, and transportation and health services strained at the same time. The exercise focuses on neighborhoods including Roxbury, East Boston, Chinatown and Dorchester, with participants working through practical decisions.
The author said the exercise is planned largely online, grounded in real public data, and that planning is still at an early stage, with interest welcomed from people in Boston-area public health, emergency preparedness and community organizations. Chinatown's inclusion puts a spotlight on how dense neighborhoods with many older residents secure cooling, power and health support during extreme heat.
