There are SO many ways Brigades have helped in COVID response efforts. I& #39;ll continue to highlight a few more. Protip for at-home viewers: if you like a project and have some spare time, reach out to the people and Brigades tagged! #CfABrigade leads: RT and share your projects!
First up: Philly Food Finder from @codeforphilly. This project has existed since 2014. With food insecurity on the rise because of COVID-19, its food finding resources saw a 10x increase in traffic. https://phillyfoodfinder.org/ ">https://phillyfoodfinder.org/">...
Brigades and our volunteers are working on several projects related to food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our volunteers pitched in on the @WCKitchen project to input school district meal data across the country.

@codeforsanjose contributed to https://getusppe.org/ ">https://getusppe.org/">... to help residents access PPE. @codeforboston has also sent its members to help with this site.

@CodeForPhilly launched CHIME, a COVID impact model for hospitals, in partnership with Penn Medicine. https://penn-chime.phl.io"> https://penn-chime.phl.io
At @CodeForBmore, volunteers launched the BMORE Responsive API, a system to track the status of healthcare providers during and after a disaster. https://twitter.com/CodeForBmore/status/1245427017585213440">https://twitter.com/CodeForBm...
People need to know what resources are open. @codeforch created @nccovidsupport as a resource for residents of Orange County, NC. It& #39;s an adaptable tool that could be used anywhere in the country. https://nccovidsupport.org/ ">https://nccovidsupport.org/">... (It even has dark mode; I& #39;m obligated to share that)
This one is cool: @CodeForBoston& #39;s Alexa 311 voice app is adding COVID information to its voice assistant app. You can see more about that project here: https://github.com/codeforboston/voiceapp311">https://github.com/codeforbo...
And one of our most exciting highlights today: See @F_NightingaleRN and the recently relaunched https://floswhistle.org/ ">https://floswhistle.org/">... to empower nurses and frontline medical staff to anonymously and securely report shortages and testing capacity.
Started by @codefordayton and nurse and advocate @jgmichaelis, members from many Brigades pitched in on the Flo& #39;s Whistle project. I& #39;d be remiss if I didn& #39;t share its inspiration, the legendary Florence Nightingale, whose 200th birthday is today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Nightingale">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flor...
