Since East Oakland has a history of injustice and disinvestment, there are several infrastructure and social vulnerabilities, which are made worse by climate change. Temperatures in Oakland have been increasing over the years and many in East Oakland are not acclimatid to hot weather. The historically cool climate has resulted in the building of homes and buildings without air conditioning.. When temperatures rise above normal, the impact is felt by the unhoused, households without air conditioning units, the elderly, people with existing heart conditions, and those with respiratory diseases. Wildfire smoke also impacts these vulnerable populations. The issue of rising temperatures is made worse by the lack of trees and large areas of industrial land uses, which have asphalt that absorbs heat. Along with absorbing heat, industrial land covered with asphalt. With vulnerable ground water and crumbling infrastructure, flooding of industrial lands and neighborhood streets pose risks to safety and life. Without major investment in existing issues and imagination in enhancing solutions to address climate impacts, climate change will continue to intensify injustices in East Oakland. The East Oakland Neighborhood Initiative (EONI) developed out of the collaboration of three primary organizations – HOPE Collaborative, East Oakland Building Healthy Communities, and the Oakland Climate Action Community (OCAC), with East Oakland Collective later joining forces. For more than a year, these organizations have led a network of twelve community based organizations who have been stewarding the health, wellbeing, and ability to respond to impending consequences of the climate crisis in East Oakland's most vulnerable neighborhoods for many years. The six East Oakland communities involved in EONI are: 1) Coliseum/ Rudsdale/ Lockwood/ Havenscourt; 2)Highland/ Elmhurst; 3) Melrose; 4) Brookfield Village/ Columbia Gardens; 5) Sobrante Park; and 6) Stonehurst To advance the cause, EONI community partners approached the City of Oakland’s Bureau of Planning to partner on a Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) grant to the Strategic Growth Council (SGC). City and community staff worked together to create the scope of work, goals, and budget for the project. That application was subsequently awarded, with Oakland’s winning application as the highest scoring planning grant in that round. City and community partners have since worked collaboratively to carry out the project vision for the EONI area, which is on the frontlines of climate justice.

    TR-060, The East Bay Hills Fire Oakland-Berkeley, California, October 1991* United States Fire Administration Technical Report Series The East Bay Hills Fire Oakland-Berkeley, California Federal Emergency Management Agency United States Fire Administration National Fire Data Center United States Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program The United States Fire Administration develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary criterion for deciding to do a report is whether it will result in significant "lessons learned." In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire -the effect of building construction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc In other cases, the lessons are not new but are serious enough to highhght once again, with yet another fire tragedy report. The reports are Sent to fire magazines and are distributed at national and regional fire meetings. The International Association of Fire Chiefs assists USFA in disseminating the findings throughout the fire service.. On a continuing basis the reports are available on request from USFA; announcements of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public tire education, building technology, and other related areas The Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an cxperienced fire investigator into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local tire authorities to insure that USFA's assistance and presence would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.
