My city was one of hundreds expecting federal funds to help manage rising heat wave risk – then EPA terminated the grants
The administration said the grants were ‘no longer consistent with EPA funding priorities.’ Spokane, which has faced deadly heat waves in eastern Washington, shows who is at risk.
