Stakeholder Engagement Resources
This project promotes public engagement by sharing winter ozone research and air quality information with community members, stakeholders, and decision-makers. Regular committee and group meetings are held to provide updates on ongoing work and to gather feedback that helps guide research and outreach efforts. Public resources such as basinwx.com, the Ozone Alert Program, and informational fact sheets help make air quality data easier to access and understand. Outreach materials, including videos and educational content shared through social media, help communicate winter ozone science to a broader audience.
