About This Event
Join us for a seminar style event that brings together local Milwaukee data experts with community residents to share their data projects, findings, and applications for hands-on use. MKE Data Dives are curated for anyone who cares about their city and wants a better understanding of how data shapes local decision-making.
Our theme for this Data Dive is Using Data to Guide Emergency Response Efforts
This Data Dive showcases two organizations centering data in their efforts to respond to emergent community crises: flood response and infectious disease outbreaks. Attendees will walk way with practical insights on how to integrate data-driven decision making into the monitoring of ongoing community issues, like public health threats, or in rapid response efforts to sudden crises, like environmental disasters.
Thank you to our presenters: Cait McElroy from the Milwaukee Public Health Department and Emmett Gross from Housing Resources, Inc.
This event has limited capacity. If you are no longer planning to attend, please cancel your ticket in advance.
Presentations
Infectious Disease Monitoring in Milwaukee County, presented by Cait McElroy, Epidemiologist at the Milwaukee Public Health Department
The Milwaukee Health Department conducts routine monitoring of many infectious diseases throughout Milwaukee County. This information is publicly available via a new communicable disease data dashboard and soon-to-be-released summary report that reviews that relevant changes in disease trends over time. During this presentation, audience members can expect to learn about both of these tools, how the Health Department uses the data in practice, and how this information is shared with partners across the County to address infectious disease spread.
How Maps Directed Flood Recovery in Milwaukee County, presented by Emmett Gross, Homeownership Preservation Manager at Housing Resources, Inc.
Following the August 2025 floods, Housing Resources Inc. used data to support recovery efforts by identifying flood-affected households and assessing their needs for mechanical replacements and temporary relocation assistance. By combining GIS mapping, homeowner data, and information from city and county agencies, the team streamlined outreach and improved the efficiency of recovery services. This presentation will demonstrate how data-driven decision-making enhanced disaster response and share practical approaches that can benefit future recovery efforts across the Milwaukee community.
