CICO MapsCommunity Inclusion in Colorado March 1, 2016 MFHCC Christine Billings & Cali Zimmerman
Early Mapping Projects • Households below poverty level • Race and ethnicity • Refugee status by nationality, birth country, or language • Primary language spoken other than English/Language Isolation • Households on public assistance • Households using public transportation vs. car • Location of healthcare facilities
Limitations to Early Mapping • Difficult to share, bulky shapefiles • Not interactive • PDFs to enable sharing • Limited data available • Interest in community mapping by broad groups not widespread. • Lack of awareness or connection between different groups for sharing resources
Shift in Mindset of Emergency Planning • Whole Community Inclusion • Access and Functional Needs (C-MIST) and Influencers (Economics, Isolation) • Social Vulnerability Index (ATSDR - CDC)
What do we need to DO? • Map where things are • Map quantities • Map densities • Find out what is inside • Find out what is nearby • Model change over time • Improve Resource and Information Communication • Inform Emergency Planning • Assess Community Inclusion Factors • Inform Community Health Assessment • Measure Health Burden • Model Changes over Time • Study Interaction with Environmental Exposures and Built Environment • Inform Health and Planning Policies
What do we HAVE? Collaboration! • Jurisdictions • Socio-Demographics Estimates • Disability Rates • Road Networks • Fire Boundaries • Flood Zones • Emergency Responders • Planning Policies • Disease Tracking • Health Agencies • Health Care Facilities • Physicians/Pharmacies
How do we do it? • A simple, easy-to-use, online tool of Colorado data • Complements current planning with people-centric information • Catalyzes conversations, then action, for Whole Community Inclusion • Bonus – begins to compile a registry of statewide resources and community partners

PHEP & HPP Grant Requirement:CICO Maps Healthcare coalitions use CICO Maps to inform their preparation for the needs of at-risk individuals and the general population in their communities in the event of a public health emergency.
After Action Report & Improvement Plan • Identified Gaps: • PHEP/HPP Capability 6: Information Sharing • Limited situational awareness regarding at-risk populations • Limited information shared between HCC agencies and the DPH DOC • PHEP Capability 4: Emergency Information Sharing & Warning • Unable to distribute information to at-risk populations • Timeliness • Appropriate method of communication
MFHCC Work Group Action: Locate high-density areas of at-risk populations
Gap 1:Information Sharing Which MFHCC agencies can provide needed information to establish and maintain situational awareness related to at-risk populations? • Collect information for MFHCC Agencies: • Identify MFHCC agencies located in high-density at-risk population areas • Identify MFHCC agencies who work specifically with these at-risk populations
Gap 2:Emergency Information Sharing & Warning How will the MFHCC share information with the at-risk populations they serve? • Share information with At-Risk Population: • Identify MFHCC agencies to create targeted messages for at-risk populations • Identify MFHCC agencies to push out targeted messages – both within the geographic area and with relationships
Goals: • Use the information to create a guide for: • Collecting information from at-risk populations • Sharing information with MFHCC partners, DOC, EOC, JIC • Pushing out information to at-risk populations
Steps to Accomplish Our Goal: • Locate high-density areas of at-risk populations • Identify MFHCC agencies located in high-density at-risk areas • Identify MFHCC agencies who work specifically with these at-risk populations • Identify MFHCC agencies to create targeted messages for at-risk populations • Identify MFHCC agencies to push out targeted messages • Create an at-risk population specific information sharing guide
