Virtual Workshop


*Geospatial Needs for a Pandemic-Resilient World*
Epidemics and pandemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak have clear geographic
dimensions due to the vector spreading the virus (human contact),
demographics and co-morbidity factors that vary geographically, the
distributed and heterogeneous nature of health care systems, and the highly
variable response and interventions from political authorities and the
public-at-large.  The decline and shifts in human activity also affect
broader social, economic and environmental systems to varying degrees.
Geospatial information can play vital roles in crafting effective
government and societal responses at the operational, tactical and
strategic levels.

This workshop will explore the needs of federal agencies, organizations,
and scientists for geospatial data science to understand and respond to
epidemics/pandemics and developing infrastructure and policies that
facilitate effective management and graceful recovery from these types of
shocks.

This committee meeting is being hosted by the Mapping Science Committee. It
is completely online. *No in-person attendance is available for this event.*
