Forbes “Jessie Mahr led a team that restored critical climate data removed from public access under the Trump administration. Now, she’s pioneering a wider effort to fill data gaps in federal policy…

As of September, PEDP had archived seven tools and 362 datasets — with 75 more in progress, Mahr told Forbes. The smallest datasets can take just a few hours to archive; the largest can take several weeks. Among the most widely used (and first to be deleted) was the federal Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool — nicknamed CEJST — that uses climate and environmental health data to identify risks in specific communities. Salgado’s work leans heavily on this tool for creating maps of where these risks overlap with race in low-income communities. But when the Trump administration dismantled the tool in January, Salgado lost access. Now, when he needs tools like this, he goes to the PEDP’s screening tools website, he said.
