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.

Air polluion involves the introduction of harmful substance into the air.These harmful substances
involves various harmful gases let out by machines, aircrafts and so on.
These pllutions could lead to serious health injuries which could lead to poverty if
too much money is spent in the hospital as treatment could be expensive.

Flood has been and is still a major concern in New jersey because the state is close to or on the
caost.Whenever an heavy rain falls today , there are flood notifications on everyones phones.
These flood situations lead to traffic,lateness,rise in water levels and all others leading to
vulnerability in our environment.

Q1. The report was basically about the how flood has been affecting newark over the past years and the adequate control measures/techniques (laws Movements,permits)
that have been put in place to ensure the prevention of flood in Newark.Agencies that prevent flood have also proven efective and functional over time as in indicated
in the text "Historically, New Jersey has taken a strong role in the development of a rigorous floodplain management program at the State level while supporting those
same efforts at the Federal level with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "(Floodplain Mapping Unit paragraph 1).This report would make resident feel
at ease knowing the problem of flooding is uder control.
Reacting to this report, Although Its is very reassuring knowing all these Agencies,funding,laws, and concerns are in place, I believe extra effort should be put in not only
in Newark but also in other flood affected areas in New Jersey and The United States as a whole because water levels are rising (major concern in coastal areas)and new methods should be put in place to
avoid major casualties.
