Power BI as an Environmental Sensitivity Mapping tool
Alice Drummond
The "Power BI and Data Analytics for Enviros" meetup group is all about sharing tips, tricks and hacks for analysing, visualising and communicating environmental data. The purpose of this blog is to summarise the key take-aways from the sessions, to help with sharing knowledge, empowering others and creating a strong data culture across our community.

Session Summary
DiscoverEI and Alluvium supported South East Water (SEW), in developing a Power BI Environmental Sensitivity Mapping (ESM) report. This tool has been created to help SEW identify key sensitivities of both environmental and public health across their region, to help inform risk assessments and incident response. In the study, Alluvium focused on the data collection and scenario modelling used to create the datasets, and DiscoverEI re-designed the Power BI report.
In this session Dr. Petter Nyman from Alluvium discussed the context around the study and the process they took to develop the initial Power BI report. Alice Drummond from DiscoverEI then discussed the Power BI report refinement process, focusing on the design elements of dashboard such as configuring drill-through, intuitive navigation and corporate themes and styles. It was a great session with nearly 100 virtual attendees and we thank everyone that was able to dial in and ask such interesting questions!
