OASIS
The Georgia Department of Public Health’s Online Analytical Statistical Information System (OASIS) platform – a web-based suite of tools populated with vital statistics and discharge/ER data for community health assessment and policy decision-making – can now analyze web queries and trends by socioeconomic vulnerability (SES) based on data from the Social Vulnerability Index. The SES data include poverty, unemployment, housing burden, education, and health insurance. Explore the OASIS tool today.
Minority Health Social Vulnerability Index
The Minority Health Social Vulnerability Index (MH SVI) uses data from the CDC/ATSDR SVI. The MH SVI enhances existing resources to support the identification of racial and ethnic minority communities at greatest risk for disproportionate impact and adverse outcomes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Explore information and data on the MH SVI.
FEMA
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) integrates the CDC/ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index into its National Risk Index (NRI) dataset and interactive mapping tool. The NRI tool enables public health professionals, emergency planners, and the public to understand their risk to 18 natural hazards. Explore the National Risk Index’s interactive map.
