About

The UIC School of Public Health (UIC-SPH) Emergency Management and Resiliency Planning (EMRP) program, in collaboration with the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) and content experts, is presenting a series of Midwest Comprehensive Visualization Dashboard(s) (MCVD) focusing on environmental health and justice issues in this region. A MCVD has two components: the visualization interface(s), i.e., link to interactive maps, and the end-user documentation (i.e., background information, data sources, methodology, findings, etc.).

MCVD has been created by Joel Flax-Hatch, Michael D. Cailas (School of Public Health), Fabio Miranda (EVL), and Apostolis Sambanis (Division of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences - EOHS)) with the participation of Michael Siciliano (College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs), Sybil Derrible (Civil, Materials, and Environmental Engineering), Yuan Shao (EOHS), and Greg Arling (Purdue University).
