Open Community Forum: COVID-19 Technology & GIS Hot Wash (Part 2)

Join us for the second part of the series "Open Community Forum: COVID-19 Technology & GIS Hot Wash" - to listen, learn, and share your data science, GIS, and technology-related challenges and success stories in COVID-19 response and recovery.

We'll be coming together virtually to learn from each other's local and state efforts in applying data science, GIS, and technology in response to the current pandemic. This Open Community Forum is designed to pick up on the conversations we started back in June during part 1 of this series and to dive deeper into some key issues.

This series of virtual forums is designed for you to engage actively, learn, and exchange ideas with colleagues nationwide - and contribute to the developing COVID-19 Tech & GIS After-Action Improvement Plan.

  • Share your past and current challenges, successes, and lessons learned in applying data science, GIS, and innovative technology in your community during COVID-19 response and recovery.-

  • Start exploring and sharing resources to support preparedness and COVID-19 response and recovery operations in the newly launched PrepResponse Community Portal.-
