The U.S. Census Bureau has introduced My Community Explorer, a new disaster mapping tool designed to help communities understand the potential impacts of disasters. This innovative resource provides insights into how such events could affect people, businesses, and the broader economy.
To assist users in navigating the tool, the Census Bureau has released a "Data Gem" video. These short instructional videos are part of the Census Academy's initiative to enhance users' knowledge of Census Bureau data and concepts.
Census Academy offers various resources, including free workshops and trainings, to help organizations utilize Census Bureau data for purposes like business planning, grant proposals, research, and urban development. Users can submit ideas for future Data Gems or request training via email.
