Are you curious about the connection between the environment and public health? Have you heard about federal tools measuring environmental health burdens and outcomes on U.S. populations, like the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), Environmental Justice Index (EJI), or National Environmental Health Public Tracking Network, but you’re not sure how to use them?
In this webinar, speakers from the CDC shared various tools that help practitioners map and understand the vulnerabilities impacting our communities’ land and waterways, and connect ecosystem health with the health disparities shown by local socioeconomic data. Practitioners walked away with a better understanding of the purpose of each tool, how to access and use them, and how to use multiple tools to create a holistic picture of local climate and health challenges and how to address them from an ecosystem perspective.
