In 2019 Governor DeWine signed an executive order creating the RecoveryOhio Advisory Council to ensure that the state’s work improves the health and wellness of all Ohio citizens.

The Office of Data and Efficiency’s IOP Data Analytics team partnered with RecoveryOhio to launch the Overdose Early Warning Dashboard. The dashboard draws upon multiple, cross-agency data sources like emergency medical reports, naloxone administration, socioeconomic indicators, and law enforcement data to predict when communities may be at heightened risk for a spike in drug overdoses, so local leaders can act in time to save lives.

Since launch the dashboard has more than 8,176 views, an average of more than 1,000 views/month. RecoveryOhio’s Dashboard will continue to improve with increased efforts to market and educate the public on its availability.

The Governor’s Office of Appalachia and the Local Development Districts advise local groups and residents about possible funding sources and methods to address the issues facing the region. The Governor’s Office of Appalachia helps establish a strategy for the use of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and state funding within Ohio.
