| Abstract |
This handbook reflects the experiences of a variety of projects that have been part of EPAs Environmental Monitoring for Public Access and Community Tracking (EMPACT) Program, which was active from 1996 to 2002. A key goal of the EMPACT Program was to facilitate the process of providing the public with time-relevant environmental information, including information on any health risks associated with certain environmental conditions. This handbook discusses a wide variety of data visualization and data interpretation tools that municipalities involved in EMPACT projects have used successfully in environmental risk communication programs. The handbook explains what the tools are and how they can be used, and also presents a number of case studies of projects using such tools. It also provides some basic guidelines for developing and using data visualization and data interpretation tools. EPA hopes that sharing this information will help other states and municipalities establish environmental risk communication programs and expand existing programs to incorporate timelier, more effective risk communication methods. |
