Esri and FEMA Provide Free Access to Data and Mapping Technology in Response to COVID-19
Summary
This collaboration leverages Esri’s enterprise agreement at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which makes its platform available to all FEMA partners during “incidents of national significance.” The COVID-19 pandemic is one such incident. Esri has been working with agencies like FEMA to ensure that communities across the nation have free, easy access to the most cutting-edge technologies to help them understand and respond to this outbreak. As part of this collaboration, Esri is also making available on-call technical support services, virtual training, and a library of geospatial applications that are developed specifically for responding to the crisis. FEMA’s federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners can now obtain free Esri software and SaaS solutions for the purpose of supporting their COVID-19 response. Esri, the global market leader in geographic information system (GIS) software, location intelligence, and mapping, offers the most powerful geospatial cloud available, to help customers unlock the full potential of data to improve operational and business results.
