To help public health agencies and other organizations jump-start their response to coronavirus, Esri is offering its location intelligence, geographic information system (GIS) and mapping software, services, and materials as a way to keep communities aware of the impact of the outbreak. The company is giving access to these resources at no cost with a complimentary software subscription.
These datasets are useful for governments, school officials, and businesses providing leadership, resources, and programs during the COVID-19 response. But of utmost importance, this is critical information for communities.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Centers for Disease Control, and numerous state and local emergency response agencies are collaborating with Esri in the fight against COVID-19. Additionally, institutions like Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering have built their own maps using Esri’s ArcGIS Dashboards.
