Openbox, an organization that works to center communities in design, is working with the DC government and ReadyDC to help residents prepare for and respond to weather emergencies—specifically, extreme heat, winter weather, and flooding.

After learning from the experiences of DC residents, we are conducting 30-minute virtual interviews to collect feedback on specific ideas. Interviews are taking place on Friday, June 24, Monday, June 27, and Tuesday, June 28. We'll be providing $50 as a thank-you.
