Updated Coronavirus Response Solution Available Now

A new version of the Coronavirus Response solution is available.  This update includes new apps to inform the public about community meal site locations, new desktop and mobile coronavirus case dashboards, a new mobile dashboard to understand community impacts, and many other enhancements.

Coronavirus Response, and it’s companion solution, Coronavirus Business Continuity, are two of the many resources available from Esri to help organizations combat Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Support Local Meal Programs

Free and discounted school meals and community meal programs are nutritional safety nets for many children and adults.  The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted normal operations for these vital programs.  Schools are responding by providing to go meals for pickup, delivering meals along school bus routes, and providing centralized meal pickup locations off school grounds.  Community meal programs are responding by switching to take away only meals, modifying hours, limiting facility access, and enforcing social distancing during pickups.

As schools and meal programs deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, members of the community that rely on these essential services need to know where, when, and how to obtain meals.

The Coronavirus Response solution now includes a series of apps to inventory meal pickup locations, report on pickup site operations, make the public aware of pickup locations near them, and monitor the program with a dashboard.
