Data alone doesn't protect communities - the people who use it do. On the final day of #TAW2026, we're celebrating #TrackingSuccess by thanking every partner who has helped us turn #data into action for healthier communities. Meet our partners ➡️trackingcalifornia.org/about…
A huge thanks to our Tracking Implementation Advisory Group as well — from health agencies, environmental justice orgs, academic institutions, and communities across California — you help keep our work grounded and accountable! Learn more about TIAG ➡️ trackingcalifornia.org/about…
For nearly two decades, @TrackingCA has helped protect communities, inform policy, advance research, and expand access to #environmentalhealth data in order to drive action! Today, we celebrate the people and milestones behind our success. #taw2026 #trackingsuccess #beyonddata
In 2018 - Our study found that reducing #airpollution could prevent 3000 #preterm births and save over $1B annually in CA in direct medical and lifetime costs. These numbers put a real price tag on the cost of inaction. trackingcalifornia.org/proje…
In 2022 - At the height of the pandemic, we found 9% of #coviddeaths in CA could have been prevented if the state met air quality standards. This finding connected environmental health directly to one of the most urgent public health crises of our time trackingcalifornia.org/proje…
Last month on #heatawarenessday we published three data briefs that together, tell the story of #unhoused Californians and #heatrelatedillness. For years, these individuals were hidden in the data - improved hospital coding now shows who was missing ➡️ trackingcalifornia.org/brief…
In Lake County, we found that 1 in 6 homes with self-supplied water systems had #waterquality #contamination issues. Lake and creek intakes faced the highest risk, with #microcystin frequently detected above EPA advisory levels ➡️trackingcalifornia.org/image…
Even treated household water wasn't always protected during severe bloom events. We recommend:
✅ Test drinking water regularly
✅ Maintain treatment systems and use certified equipment
✅ Connect to public water systems when possible

When wildfires and extreme heat strike Lake County, residents need to know where to go. We partnered with Lake County COAD and the Office of Climate Resiliency to map Resilience Hubs countywide. 👉 trackingcalifornia.github.io… #TAW2026 #BeyondData #Partnerships
For farmworkers in the San Joaquin Valley, #extremeheat isn't a seasonal inconvenience — it's a year-round occupational health crisis. And too many residents have nowhere safe to go when temperatures spike.
Tracking California, @RootsofChange , @CCEJN, @tbuesd, UCB public health, are developing a #resiliencehub, equipping #farmworkers with resiliency kits, and creating a learning community through the SJV Heat project ➡️ trackingcalifornia.org/proje…
