GIS is experiencing an unprecedented level of use. Historically, GIS was deployed following a disaster to help respond and recover. Today, GIS is used as a disaster is unfolding. The COVID-19 event is an outstanding example of how effective GIS is when robust data is available. States are realizing the value of investing in these systems and the people who run them.

NSGIC is committed to beginning the national conversation about leveraging the best available data to better understand the spread and impacts of the coronavirus. We are looking to convene state, local, and federal players in epidemiology, emergency response, and socioeconomic impacts through an online community and webinar.
