We explore the role being played by Arizona State University’s Center for Emergency Management and Homeland Security during the COVID-19 pandemic response. Melanie Gall, a co-director for the center at ASU, created a data dashboard tool during a Florida hurricane that has been replicated for use during the COVID-19 response.
She discusses how this critical tool — see it at https://arcg.is/0XeaWu0 — has become an important part of disaster planning in the state of Arizona. Center co-director Brian Gerber will talk about how we’re using “EmergencyCorps@ASU” for student volunteer engagement.
The effort allows students to serve communities in Arizona and elsewhere through response volunteerism, emergency preparedness exercises, planning support and the like. Both Gall and Gerber also spotlight the active role our students are playing in response to the pandemic.
This episode is about life inside the classroom in the fall 2020 semester, told from the perspective of ASU faculty. They will be teaching both in-person and in the ASU Sync modality.
Arizona State University’s Health Services department plays a critical role in student success by helping them stay healthy and well, both physically and mentally.
Researchers at Arizona State University have developed the state’s first saliva-based test for COVID-19. The new saliva-based test is a game-changer for individuals who want to know whether they have an active COVID-19 infection.
