SB 223: The Wildfire Smoke and Health Outcomes Data Act.
The bill aims to create a statewide integrated wildfire smoke and health data platform to better understand the negative health impacts of wildfire smoke on California's population. This platform will integrate data from multiple sources, including existing databases, to provide accurate information and inform investments in forest health and wildfire mitigation. The bill also establishes protocols for data sharing, quality control, and the use of open-source platforms and decision support tools. Additionally, it creates a fund to support the collection, management, and improvement of wildfire smoke and health data, allowing for more effective implementation of the act.
