Racism as a Public Health Crisis
It was an honor to share a virtual space with so many of you on November 5 and November 12 as we continue a shared pursuit of how to address the presence of systemic racism and its impact on public health in our communities. There was an abundance of terrific conversations, and there were many amazing resources shared!
Racism as a Public Health Crisis: Three Responses
States, counties, and cities across the country are answering the call by declaring racism as a public health crisis or emergency, which is an important first step in the movement to advance racial equity and justice. We have collected stories from some of these communities to lift up why they took this bold step, and how they plan to hold themselves accountable to action.

Radon mitigation programs
Prevent radon from entering occupied buildings and reduce existing indoor air radon levels via soil depressurization, home or room pressurization, heat recovery ventilation, etc.
Rain barrels
Use ready-made or home constructed barrel systems to collect and store rainwater from rooftops that would otherwise flow to storm drains and streams
Rain gardens & other bioretention systems
Establish bioretention systems (e.g., rain gardens, bioretention cells, green roofs, planter boxes, bioswales, etc.) to make city landscapes more permeable to help control stormwater
