Install a misting cooling station at an invited Calexico gathering spot

On Calexico's worst afternoons, shade alone is not enough — 115 degrees under a sail is still an emergency for an elder. A misting station plumbed to an existing spigot at an invited site drops the effective temperature in its plume by double digits. Installed once and maintained, it runs all season on pocket-change water volumes. Standard: Public cooling-station practice per county heat-emergency plans; SDG 3 Good Health, SDG 11 Sustainable Cities. Proof: Photos of mounted line, running mist, timer valve with GPS/date Method (Public cooling-station practice per county heat-emergency plans; SDG 3 Good Health, SDG 11 Sustainable Cities.): 1. Confirm the host site's spigot, drainage, and mounting line. 2. Mount the misting line along the shade edge per the kit's spacing. 3. Install the filter and connect to the spigot with a timer valve. 4. Run the system, adjust nozzles, and check the ground stays slip-safe. 5. Photograph the running mist and record the install with GPS and date. Done when: Photos of mounted line, running mist, timer valve with GPS/date

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
