2. Collect Local Digital Equity Asset Inventory Data After reviewing the demographic base map data, it will be the task for your team to collect additional local data for the Digital Equity Asset Inventory that will help identify what resources, plans, and programs already exist to support digital equity for Covered Populations in your community. The Digital Equity Asset Inventory is an iterative product that will be developed and remain useful throughout and beyond this planning process. Steps to Building Your Asset Inventory Review pre-identified digital equity assets available to your community Ask BAT members to identify and input known assets Coordinate community outreach efforts Identify local stakeholders that may play a role in digital equity efforts Assign outreach tasks Ask stakeholders to provide input using Worksheet #15 WRITING BROADBAND ACTION AND DIGITAL EQUITY PLANS 21 Analyze and develop a summary report of asset inventory Identify which types of services are available throughout the region Identify service areas of available services Identify which services are available for Covered Populations Identify any regional, sub-regional, tribal, or stakeholder digital equity plans Recommend any necessary follow-up with stakeholders Add to the inventory and summary report iteratively throughout planning process Each community will have different assets available and different stakeholder networks for collecting the nec- essary data. A successful asset inventory process involves coordinated outreach and reflects the input of a range of stakeholders in your community. Worksheet #14: Digital Equity Asset Inventory The base map with population data is just a start- local assets being added to your broadband map will help develop this resource for your community. The local asset inventory form may be utilized to request data from local organizations working to support digital equity and inclusion initiatives. Documenting and organizing data from these organizations may provide useful for local broadband planning efforts. Your team can use the Google Form titled, “Digital Equity Asset Inventory Form” found in your team’s Google Drive folder (reach out to your regional coordinator for access) to send out to local agencies to help document their current and future efforts.
