Detroit Environmental Health Hazards Resource Hub and Data Collection

January 2023 - April 2023

Executive Summary

A student assisted Planet Detroit in building an online resource hub to help inform Detroit residents and relevant stakeholders of a wide variety of environmental health risks. Environmental health risk categories included flood, climate, heat, air quality, and lead levels. The resource hub includes a written description of the data and lists the type of data provided. The resource hub also includes relevant information from participating impact partners who provided the research and data. The student helped with data entry and collection to assemble the resource hub and make it discernible for readers. Through stakeholder collaboration and input, the student was able to use a wide variety of data and research to help assemble the resource hub. The student further researched Planet Detroit's impact partners to determine if there was any additional data to investigate and helped research data sources for a different project.
