White Paper: Tools to Help Manage COVID-19
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic highlights how important it is for emergency managers to have easy access to real-time situational awareness information. The speed at which the situation is changing can be overwhelming for anyone and making sure decisions are made based on the latest data is critical for saving lives and keeping our healthcare system operational. That is why it is crucial to not just have the best most up-to-date information, but to display it in a way that can be quickly digested and acted upon. In addition to accessing the right data, responders need to be able to track information for both managing tasks and for after-action-reporting.
