Providing Detailed Information on National Policies to Cope with the Covid-19 Pandemic

Published: 12 November 2020 Publication History

Abstract

This article considers the valorization of government interventions to support the economy in France; in particular, it provides a detailed geovisualization of emergency funds granted to companies. Transparency of the actions performed to cope with the pandemic situation is offered by the combination of open data and the usage of a new open-source visualization framework. It provides the essential information of public policies for citizens, academics, companies, public decision makers, and so on. The proposed framework is completely customizable and may be easily re-used in many crisis management situations, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, nuclear disasters.
