Data as a National Asset for Decision-Making

Monday, July 25, 2016

Background:

Robust data collections are vital for understanding and managing Earth’s natural resources and hazards:

Earthquake data can help identify quake-prone areas and inform earthquake preparedness.
Air quality data can reveal potential health risks and hazards from air pollution.
Water quality data can capture noteworthy trends and changes in safety and accessibility.
