Abstract

Studying three of the largest refugee camps in the world, Pablo Bose (CAS) and colleagues will explore the relationship between environmental risk factors and public health. Using spatial analysis and public and private data, the team will catalogue the environmental risks facing refugee camps, evaluate how these factors affect refugee camps' responses to public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and create the first publicly-available dashboard to characterize environmental risks in humanitarian settings worldwide.
