Geospatial Forum with Dr. Elizabeth Wentz

September 10, 2020 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm

In this forum, Dr. Wentz shares the goals and outcomes from Arizona State University’s Knowledge Exchange for Resilience (KER). KER is a boundary organization with the intent to build community resilience in Maricopa County, Arizona. Here, community resilience is defined as the capacity of a community to withstand and respond to long term stresses and acute shocks. KER’s signature activities in the knowledge exchange include a Hunch Lunch, where ideas around vulnerabilities and solutions are shared; Fellows program, where individuals from the community and the university partner to deeply explore assets and vulnerabilities; and a data dashboard, where data from diverse sources, including location-based data, are brought together and shared to build awareness of problems and to identify responses. A case study is presented to illustrate how data and partnerships can improve the impact of the long term stress of high summertime temperatures on health and economic resilience.
