I hope to be involved in projects that aim to gather scientific evidence to inform environmental decision making and advocate for greater equity and justice in environmental governance. Through this work, I hope to learn the skills needed to engage in community based research and leverage community knowledge as expert knowledge. In my department, things are often siloed and issues are only seen through one perspective. I really want to gain more experience in collaborating with a wide array of stakeholders to come up with approaches to mitigate the environmental injustices experienced in under-resourced communities.

Many of the citations are from the MSF compilation, but others are clearly other studies or research articles. They are all from the past 20 years or so, since humanitarian and womens' sexual rights gained popularity and momentum around that time.

More one-on-one interviews with the healthcare workers - finding out how they deal with situations, what situations are too common, why policies are the way they are, and what changes would make sense - finacially, health-wise, wait-time-wise, etc.

This article is more based on the response to disease spread, rather than response to a single emergency event.

Emergency response is briefly mentioned as something to consider in risk vs security in situations. The safety of emergency responders is important, but making every person take measures to prevent every disease may not be practical. The importance of vaccinating emergency responders was also mentioned.

The government should not edit the EPA's notices and warnings.

There should be far more safety information given to first responders and people living/working in a dangerous area. If they are not actively saving lives, they should not be risking their own lives - like in the rubble cleanup for 9/11.
