Community Outreach

Building trust through communication and engagement is a key part of the Community Environmental Monitoring Program (CEMP). Through presentations, community events, educational outreach, and public discussions, CEMP provides opportunities for residents, educators, students, and community leaders to learn about the program’s monitoring and research activities. These interactions help create informed communities and encourage open conversations about their surroundings and public health.
