A recent article published in the Juneau Empire details a COVID19 response project funded by òòò½´«Ã½ Center ICE.
Most maps of òòò½´«Ã½ show governmental boundaries and geographic features, but offer little insight into where people live or which places might be especially vulnerable to pandemic or in need of relief.
A new project made by John Harley, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of òòò½´«Ã½ Southeast, attempts to show exactly that via an interactive map of the state that identifies the pockets of populations scattered throughout the state and identifies potentially at-risk areas using factors such as age, financial security and more.
