Communities in Need of Resources Can Access Location Intelligence Technology at No Cost
REDLANDS, Calif.-Friday 20 March 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Esri,
the global leader in location intelligence, today announced that it
will be making its software available to public and private sector
organizations fighting the COVID-19 disease pandemic.
The
COVID-19 outbreak has escalated rapidly across the globe, and with
municipalities struggling to respond, Esri has built out resources to
help organizations understand the potential impact of the disease on
public health, as well as potential community risk areas and their
capacity to respond. A COVID-19 GIS Hub site
provides much of this essential data, including case locations and
social vulnerability, that communities and health organizations can use
to inform their response.
To help public health agencies and other organizations jump-start their response, Esri
is providing the ArcGIS Hub Coronavirus Response template at no cost
through a complimentary six-month ArcGIS Online subscription with ArcGIS
Hub. The template includes examples, materials, and
configurations to rapidly deploy your ArcGIS Hub environment. ArcGIS Hub
is a framework to build your own website to visualize and analyze the
crisis in the context of your organization's or community's population
and assets.
“Esri
has always prioritized assisting communities during large-scale
emergencies and natural disasters,” said Jack Dangermond, Esri founder
and president. “For the past 25 years, our Disaster Response Program
provides data, software, configurable applications, and technical
support for emergency operations. We consider it part of our mission to
provide these services free of cost during this time of national
crisis.”
