She serves as UUJF liaison on the Florida Interfaith Climate Actions Network Steering Committee, provides field and organizational support for the Florida Disaster Resilience Initiative, and partners with environmental justice communities to address environmental health issues. She has helped UU congregations partner with underserved communities through the Rising Together tri-lingual outreach project, which has stepwise methods and materials that were developed under an EPA Environmental Justice grant to the UU Fellowship of Boca Raton Green Sanctuary Committee. Janice received Honorable Mention in the 2017 FEMA Community Preparedness Champions category for leading Rising Together, which provides preparedness information about the health effects of climate change to low-income and limited English proficiency households. Her work in Shorecrest, Miami in 2017 and 2018 included partnership with the National Library of Medicine/NIH Community Health Mapping Initiative and Florida International University's Sea Level Solutions Center, to develop materials and methods for citizens fearful about floodwaters to collect and map data about the depth, salinity, and the presence or absence of coliform and E. coli. Her current work with the Florida Disaster Resilience Initiative (FDRI) has involved her in disaster response that deepens connections in Florida’s underserved communities. Janice worked in the panhandle in the weeks following Hurricane Michael, and is currently working with the FDRI to provide portable buildings to relieve the housing shortage. Her current work involves building disaster resilience by providing collaborative platforms and training residents to use them effectively; and mentoring natural leaders by providing technical assistance that increases capacity in communities on the Frontlines of Climate Change in Florida.
