This May Be of Help

Colleagues,

  As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic persists, it sometimes feels difficult to see a light at the end of the tunnel. But I am reaching out today with words of hope and encouragement: it is my belief that the GIS work many of you are accomplishing will address a myriad of the challenges we are facing and help bring an end to this global crisis. Our community is already making a measurable difference in this fight, and knowing this is clearly uplifting to me—I hope that it inspires you as well. 

  I want to share two video messages that may be of help to you. Both of them offer practical assistance and a positive outlook in these difficult times.

In the first video, you will see some of the ways you and your peers are using GIS to respond to COVID-19: mapping the spread, visualizing hospital capacity, locating vulnerable populations, and more. These efforts are saving patients’ lives; protecting workers on the front lines; and providing evidence-based models for key safety measures like social distancing, business closures, and travel restrictions.

The video also discusses how you can replicate and adapt these efforts for your own organization or community. You'll learn about resources and workflows to add GIS to your COVID-19 toolkit, including insights for communicating different types of data, and a summary of actions you can take to implement a useful GIS for pandemic response.

A Message from Dr. Jane Goodall

I also want to share a special video message from Dr. Jane Goodall, a longtime friend of the GIS and Esri community. Her words provide comfort and motivation—your efforts are recognized, appreciated, and necessary, and your work is helping us move toward a better tomorrow.
