Hosted by the US EPA
This webinar will explore the critical role of effective data management in disaster response, particularly in the context of environmental sampling and contamination incidents. By providing a comprehensive overview of data management processes, tools and best practices, we will showcase the application of these principles to an environmental field study—the Operational Testing and Evaluation of Chemical Remediation Activities (OTECRA) Demonstration. Through the examination of the OTECRA Demonstration, we’ll emphasize the need for accurate, accessible and organized data, as well as effective Data Management Plans (DMPs), to facilitate informed decision-making, coordination and cleanup efforts.
