Community Involvement Planning and Implementation
Businesses and government agencies should involve local communities early on during the environmental decision-making process by providing them with information, and creating a mechanism for an exchange of ideas among all stakeholders.
Certain businesses may be required to involve the public in the development of plans to respond to emergency spills, clean up toxic waste, redevelop contaminated brownfields, develop a wind farm, or prevent water pollution from their facilities. GEOS can be used to plan and put into action meaningful community involvement.
