The A.49 solicitation looks to advance progress on equity and environmental justice (EEJ) domestically through the application of Earth science, geospatial, and socioeconomic information. The solicitation focuses on three elements:
1. Landscape analyses to support characterization of EJ communities to support planning and investment decisions on EEJ
2. Community-based feasibility projects to test ways to address EEJ issues facing communities with the help of Earth science information
3. Data integration projects that combine Earth science information and socioeconomic datasets relevant to EEJ topics and communities.

Specifically, this tool address the risks and associated impacts, of climate change, on communities and the capabilities of communities to adapt and recover.
This tool, a companion to the UMBC Climate Action Plan, allows users to explore the various natural hazards that may impact campus. Users can look through a series of maps and features which are designed to help the UMBC community better understand the implications of climate change.
Environmental Social Justice
EJSCREEN is an environmental justice mapping and screening tool that provides EPA with a nationally consistent dataset and approach for combining environmental and demographic indicators. EJ Screen @ UMBC is designed as an interactive dashboard and companion to the Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool. The dashboard displays information about the 11 EJ indicators and UMBC’s demographics.
This tool is a “map-centric” application where the user can interact directly with the map or enable additional functionality by selecting widgets on the top banner. The tool is designed as a geographic companion for the EJ Screen @ UMBC Dashboard.
