Make community resilience data easier to review

For a request that names the geography, year, and variables, Notis can retrieve Community Resilience Estimates and prepare a clear summary for your report channel.

Why this helps

Community resilience research can become hard to interpret when the variables and geography are not kept together.

  • Get a concise starting brief from the returned estimates.
  • Reduce the handoff between a question and a data review.
