This manuscript describes risk communication in brownfields communities and features two case studies. The first case study highlights a former air force base, K. I. (Kevin Ingalls) Sawyer, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the Lake Superior basin. The base closed in 1995 and the re-branded town of K. I. Sawyer struggles to find its image and purpose as a community. The primarily low-income community was concerned about a plume of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater, potentially contaminated soil in their baseball fields, and lead paint on the interior and exterior of vacant residential buildings which were brownfields. The second case study features the City of Benton Harbor, Michigan. Once a thriving harbor city, it currently is navigating a burden of multiple brownfields, vacant properties, and the aftermath of a lead water crisis. In 2016, lead-lined water service lines began to fail, releasing lead into drinking water, leading to community outrage and concern from 2019 - 2023. The city's lead water crisis made national news. By 2023, the community felt the need to build their capacity to navigate conversations with local government and to obtain funding for community revitalization.
这份手稿描述了棕地社区的风险沟通，并以两个案例研究为特色。第一个案例研究的重点是位于密歇根州上半岛苏必利尔湖盆地的前空军基地k.i. (Kevin Ingalls) Sawyer。基地于1995年关闭，重新命名的K. I. Sawyer镇努力寻找自己作为社区的形象和目标。主要是低收入社区担心地下水中的全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质（PFAS），他们棒球场的土壤可能受到污染，空置的住宅建筑内部和外部的含铅油漆是棕地。第二个案例研究的特点是密歇根州本顿港市。它曾经是一个繁荣的港口城市，但目前却面临着大量棕地、空置房产和铅水危机的后果。2016年，铅衬里的供水管道开始失效，将铅释放到饮用水中，引发了2019年至2023年社区的愤怒和担忧。该市的含铅水危机成为了全国新闻。到2023年，社区感到有必要建立与当地政府对话的能力，并为社区振兴获得资金。

This manuscript provides an overview of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's Action Model and Action Model Toolkit. Through a simple 4-step brainstorming process, the Action Model engages a diverse array of community members, the Development Community, in community revitalization plans. The Action Model's fourth step results in community-driven indicators associated with redevelopment. This manuscript discusses the consolidation of over 200 Action Model indicators from 40 communities, resulting in the Action Model Toolkit, which highlights 69 redevelopment indicators common to 20% or more of the communities. The indicators are in nine categories: built environment, community involvement, economy, education, environmental improvement, environmental resources, housing, physical health, and safety and security. Example indicators from a redeveloped former United States Air Force base are featured. Any community may use the Action Model Toolkit to implement their own Action Models and encourage the selection of common indicators or to derive their own unique indicators through sustainability, public health, and environmental lenses.
