This one hour webinar teaches how to map the COVID-19 pandemic using free data and open source software. The presentation begins with an introduction to Community Health Maps, a program to empower underserved populations with free mapping tools. Community Health Maps case studies will demonstrate the successful use of these tools. The remainder focuses on downloading and mapping COVID-19 data using QGIS, the world’s leading open source desktop GIS software. By the end of the webinar you will know how to download data, import the data into QGIS, symbolize it, and make a map of COVID-19 cases per one million people by county. This webinar will be recorded and made available via YouTube.
