- These resources include the Engaging Health Departments in Brownfields/Land Reuse Redevelopment short videos and the Environmental Health Resources Self Learning Modules.
For Health Agencies
Resources for health agencies:
- Engaging Health Department in Brownfields/Land Reuse Redevelopment short videos
- Environmental Health Resources Self Learning Modules
The three videos show how state, local, and tribal health agencies can get involved with brownfields and land reuse site redevelopment. These are short examples of projects from state and local health department representatives. We hope they may inspire other health department staff to become more engaged in land reuse:
- Video 1: Introduction: Engaging Health Agencies in Land Reuse
- Video 2: State Health Agencies: Brownfields and Land Reuse Case Studies
- Video 3: Conclusion: Local and Tribal Health Agencies Engagement in Brownfields and Land Reuse.
Engaging Health Departments
Engaging Health Departments in Brownfields and Land Reuse Site Redevelopment
These three videos highlight the ways that local health departments (LHDs) and other health agencies promote and build capacity to engage in health-focused land reuse. While larger LHDs may have the capacity to be involved in land reuse work, smaller health agencies may be overburdened and short on resources. They may be unaware of funding or ATSDR technical support that is available to them to work on land reuse issues.
