Now that the health community is in a state of reflection, how do
we put the lessons learned into practice? As we step back to
examine the worldwide response to the COVID-19 pandemic, now is the
time to think about how to raise the bar for our response to the
next public health emergency. Now is the time to revisit health
preparedness strategies and plans. And now is the time to review
what the health community did that worked-and how we can do that
again. 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. Needing to
answer the question of "where" sat at the forefront of everyone's
mind, and using a geographic information system (GIS) for real-time
surveillance transformed possibly overwhelming data into location
intelligence that provided agencies and civic leaders with valuable
insights. Co-edited by Esri chief medical officer Dr. Este
Geraghty, this book highlights best practices, key GIS
capabilities, and lessons learned during the COVID-19 response that
can help communities prepare for the next crisis. GIS has
empowered: Organizations to use human mobility data to estimate the
adherence to social distancing guidelines Communities to monitor
their health care systems' capacity through spatially enabled surge
tools Governments to use location-allocation methods to site new
resources (i.e., testing sites and augmented care sites) in ways
that account for at-risk and vulnerable populations Communities to
use maps and spatial analysis to review case trends at local levels
to support reopening of economies Organizations to think spatially
as they consider "back-to-the-workplace" plans that account for
physical distancing and employee safety needs Learning from
COVID-19 also includes a "next steps" section that provides ideas,
strategies, tools, and actions to help jump-start your own use of
GIS, either as a citizen scientist or a health professional. A
collection of online resources, including additional stories,
videos, new ideas and concepts, and downloadable tools and content,
complements this book. Now is the time to use science and data to
make informed decisions for our future, and this book shows us how
we can do it.
