Key Findings• A region at risk. Nearly 1/3 (1.2 million) of San Joaquin Valley
residents face extreme cumulative environmental and social vulnerability.
• More environmental hazards exist than are publically documented: Residents identified many more environmental hazards than are documented or addressed by the state and federal regulatory inventories.
• Not all vulnerability is equal: The combination of environmental risk and social vulnerability is not randomly distributed across the region, but rather concentrated within particular communities.
• Collaborative action is needed, focused on the most vulnerable people and places.

West Fresno residents document their local knowledge of hidden environmental hazards
Center for Regional Change creates a digital map documenting local knowledge
Residents use the maps to inform and empower their own advocacy
Community Mapping for Change

Community Knowledge Fills Data Gaps

Action Strategies• State should create its own Cumulative Impacts policies• Implement CEVA across SJV (and CA)• Prioritize investment in CEVA Action Zones
• Special attention to permitting, monitoring, and enforcement
• Improved and targeted public participation• Economic investments (turn the red zones green!)
![Page 17: Exploring the San Joaquin Valley: A Land of Change and Promise December 4-6, 2013 Jonathan London, Ph.D. C UMULATIVE E NVIRONMENTAL V ULNERABILITIES :](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081602/551b7690550346a10a8b4c33/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• CA has created its own CEVA (CalEnviroScreen)• SJV advocates played key roles in development• CalEnviroScreen to be used to direct investments in EJ areas (Cap
and Trade revenues, Strategic Growth Council grants)
• US EPA Region 9 designated the SJV as a priority area for public participation, funding and enforcement
• CEVA elements used in SB 375 implementation• CEVA supported case for development of EJ reporting
platforms (KEEN, FERN etc.)• CalEPA Environmental Justice Working Group pilot project
for joint enforcement• Health funders (TCE, TCWF) have continued to invest in
CEVA across the state
