Healthy Buildings, Now and in the Future
hosted by USET Tribal Health Program Support

Alongside masking, vaccination, physical distancing, and sanitation, improving indoor air quality through ventilation and filtration is an important step in any COVID-19 prevention strategy. Improving ventilation and filtration in buildings can be a great strategy to prevent other respiratory illnesses in addition to COVID-19, particularly during seasons when it is necessary to hold events indoors. In addition, evidence shows that better indoor air in schools is even linked to better educational outcomes among students.

The USET TEC is working with the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) to provide Tribal Leaders and staff with the tools they need to monitor and improve air quality in their establishments, particularly within Tribal schools. The training is done in three sessions and participants are encouraged to attend each session. School staff, administrators or anyone who maintains infrastructure of Tribal buildings are invited to attend.

When: April 14, 21, 28 (Thursdays) at 1:00 pm -4:00 pm Central/2:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern each day
