FORT BERTHOLD RESERVATION — Dakota Resource Council and Fort Berthold Protectors of Water and Earth Rights are providing a way to keep tabs on health and environmental factors with the launch of the JustAir Public Dashboard.
The dashboard offers real-time and historical data from monitors regarding air quality conditions in their area.
The JustAir Public Dashboard, accessible at https://justair.app, gives residents of the Fort Berthold Reservation and others a user-friendly platform to stay informed about air quality conditions. The dashboard provides detailed insights into air quality data, offering a comprehensive breakdown of historical trends and real-time readings. Those interested can sign up for alerts to receive notifications when air quality conditions are poor.
"In our commitment to safeguarding community well-being and the environment, DRC and Fort Berthold POWER installed air monitors at key locations within the reservation," said Delvin Rabbithead Sr., president of Fort Berthold POWER. "Currently, eight monitors have been deployed across seven locations, including Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College in New Town, Four Bears Segment, Mandaree, Twin Buttes and Parshall. These monitors, designed to track various emissions from flaring and other activities, will help us understand what we breathe every day."
The monitors measure and record a broad range of contaminants, including ozone, particulate matter and Volatile Organic Compounds, providing a comprehensive understanding of air quality conditions.
