Learning from COVID-19: GIS for Pandemics explores a collection of real-life case studies about how organizations across the globe have successfully used GIS to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.
