The New Jersey Departments of Health and Environmental Protection
have jointly released a new website, Healthy Community Planning (HCP-NJ), to
assist with local community planning activities. The
site provides individual, municipal-level reports on 33 separate environmental
and health indicators, as well as relevant county and State data for those
indicators for comparison. These
indicators offer a snapshot of a municipality’s health and environmental data
to help promote a healthy and safe environment for all New Jersey residents. Data in the reports can help prioritize local
health and environmental concerns, guide public health actions, identify
strategies for improvement, and shape policy decisions.
To visit the site, either click on
‘Healthy Community Planning’ above or go directly to:
