Mapping tools for fighting COVID-19

Observe, understand, and respond with location intelligence

Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic

GIS provides public health modeling and mapping tools for surveillance and monitoring, understanding resource capacity and needs, and improving critical communication. Maps deliver the insights needed to plan and respond in a rapidly changing environment and help slow the spread.

Observe

Collect real-time data on cases, testing sites, medical facilities, and inventory and capacity for key resources. Visualize the data with maps.

Understand

Analyze case data, bed and resource capacity, and community mobility. Identify where critical resources are needed and prioritize interventions.

Respond

Deploy resources based on real-time insights from the field, enhance critical communications, and monitor how your efforts are working.
