Part 6/10:
Provision of solar-powered fans and small tents for temporary shade in public spaces.
Installation of solar panels on office buildings and warehouses to decrease reliance on grid electricity and provide cooling during peak hours.
NGO workers highlight that a substantial part of the community’s resilience relies on limited resources. For example, a volunteer mentions that Somsak, an elderly man, can only stay cool for about 6 hours with a solar-powered fan, which operates on sunlight. When the device stops working at night, it leaves him exposed to dangerous heat or cold.
