- Population Health Information Tool (PHIT)
The Office of Preparedness and Emergency Management (OPEM) is excited to introduce a new, interactive Emergency Preparedness Data Report to the public. OPEM staff partnered with the Population Health Information Tool (PHIT) to build a curated set of data indicators, contextualized content, and resources within the Massachusetts Health Data Tool platform. Throughout the process, OPEM received input on the content and functionality of the report from EP coordinators across the Commonwealth. The Emergency Preparedness Data Report offers critical information for enhancing inclusive community planning activities.
Users can easily create and share custom reports as well as export data for advanced analysis. The report presents over 25 relevant data indicators, including electrically dependent Medicare beneficiaries, language spoken at home, computer and internet access, and social vulnerability. Users can view data by city/town, county, PHEP coalition, and HMCC region. When available, data is presented with demographic information such as age, sex, and race and Hispanic ethnicity.
