ATSDR Action Model

The ATSDR Brownfields /Land Reuse Action Model helps the diverse members of the development community – officials, developers, community supporters, and residents, find ways to make health part of the renewal process. Communities can use the action model to identify common goals to incorporate these goals in strategic planning.

The action model encourages people to think about broad public health topics connected to community health:

• Health – physical and mental health
• Community – education, economy, safety, security ,
• Land and Environment – contaminated soil/water/air, parks, waterways, and
• Buildings and Infrastructure dilapidated building, grocery stores, sidewalks
