Learning from COVID-19 - GIS for Pandemics

Now that the health community is in a state of reflection, how do we put the lessons learned into practice?

Learning from COVID-19: GIS for Pandemics tells real-life stories about how spatial thinking became invaluable in both local and full-scale outbreaks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Geographic information systems (GIS) for real-time surveillance transformed possibly overwhelming data into location intelligence that provided agencies and civic leaders with valuable insights. The book also includes a "next steps" section that provides ideas, strategies, tools, and actions to help jump-start your own use of GIS. A collection of online resources, including additional stories, videos, new ideas and concepts, and downloadable tools and content, complements this book.

Edited by Dr. Este Geraghty, chief medical officer and health solutions director at Esri, and Matt Artz, an Esri content strategist.
