Public Resource
Data + Screening Tools
The Public Environmental Data Partners are committed to preserving and providing public access to federal environmental data. They are a volunteer coalition of several environmental, justice, and policy organizations, researchers across several universities, archivists, and students who rely on federal datasets and tools to support critical research, advocacy, policy, and litigation work. To gather insights on what data to preserve, they reached out to our networks, which consist largely of environmental justice groups and networks, state and local government climate offices, and academic researchers. They compiled a large list of federal databases and tools, and prioritized them based on their relative impact, their confidence that we could archive them, and the relative effort it would take to obtain and archive them. Examples include: access to FEMA’s Future Risk Index, EPA EJAM, and more.
