Overview |
|
|
The Region 6
Pilot U.S.-Mexico Border Environmental Information and
Education Initiative in support of 2012 Border Program
to disseminate environmental information and provide
training through volunteers is possibly one of the first
cross-border community-level programs that will provide a
usable product which demonstrably supports the new 2012
BORDER PROGRAM |
|
Outreach |
|
|
The program will
establish an information and training hub at AYUDA that
will be managing two remote sites. One located in Agua
Dulces and the other in Juarez. These sites in turn will
reach out to other community centers, schools, and
churches.

|
Data
Collection, Training And Support |
|
|
Training and
support will be provided by EASI and USMCOC in the
establishment of environmental data collection programs
|
|
Environmental
Data Reporting and Feedback |
|
|
When the
satellite and outreach organizations begin to report their
collected information back to the Hub at AYUDA. The data
will be entered into an online environmental database that
meets the EPA standards for data reporting |
| Program
Results and Objectives |
|
|
The data product
being taken from the on-line information reporting system
at the community-level will be in a format that is usable
in the EPA national database. These community-level
hubs and satellites may become vital additional EPA
regional resources in the future for the purpose of filling
data gaps and early identification of environmental
indicators along the both sides of the border |
