The platform is designed to explore the intricate relationships between power outages in Seattle and various equity factors related to the environment, socio-economics, and public health. This interactive map offers several primary features:

• Power Outage Exploration: Users can explore the history of power outages in the Seattle Service Area dating back to 2011. This feature facilitates a detailed examination of outage patterns by year, month, and time of day. Users can also delve into the causes behind these outages.
• Equity Matrix: The platform allows users to investigate socio-economic, environmental, and health factors at the census tract level. It includes detailed demographics for each census tract within Seattle, offering a comprehensive view of the city's diverse communities.
• Correlation Analysis: The hub enables the exploration of the connection between power outage patterns and equity factors, assisting users in uncovering latent relationships and understanding the broader implications of these outages.

Data for this hub comes from the Seattle Open Data Portal, Justice 40, and the Seattle Equity Map, and it's built using the open-source MapLibre framework. The project is a collaboration between Seattle City Light, the University of Washington's Department of Geography, and Locaphilia LLC. Accessible via PC, Mac, or Tablet (not smartphone), the team welcomes contributions, suggestions, and questions to improve the platform's effectiveness.

Acknowledging the project's location, it is noted that the Seattle City Light Service Area is situated on the lands and waters of the Coastal Salish peoples, specifically the Suquamish, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot nations. This acknowledgment reflects a commitment to contemplating the historical legacies of the land and striving for greater recognition and confrontation of these histories.
