Integrating ToxPi outputs with ArcGIS Dashboards to identify neighborhood threat levels of contaminant transferal during flood events

Abstract

ABSTRACT The convergence of flooding and environmental contamination heightens the potential for mobility and transfer of toxic substances. Spatial analytic platforms can help identify the risks of toxic substance release during flooding, but these platforms are not integrated with one another, making data sharing difficult across platforms. Using the Toxics Mobility Inventory for the State of Rhode Island, this paper presents a method which integrates Toxicological Prioritization Index outputs across multiple data visualization platforms. The workflow presented creates an accessible interface for residents and policy makers to monitor the spatial conditions related to toxic substances during floods to better target solutions.
