Cobb County government is asking for the public’s help in collecting resources using its Geographic Information Service (GIS) mapping tools about grocery store inventories and open businesses during the Coronavirus crisis.
A message that’s been sent out explains the purpose, and asks that you submit what you see at grocery stores when you go shopping, or use an open restaurant for takeout/curbside/delivery service:
“We want to help as many Cobb businesses to survive as possible, and we’re using the power of the people to spread the word!
“Which restaurants are offering take out? Go to our special map and let others know which restaurants are cooking up take out orders. Visit it here.”
Here’s the link for the grocery stores and inventory survey.
Other links to be found there include what customers are noticing in their stores from the previous 24 hours in terms of paper products, breads/foods, produce, and crowds/social distancing.
Thus far more than 400 people have filled out the survey, and results obviously will change frequently.
Here’s the link to survey about to available restaurant options, with answers also to be folded into a countywide data source.
They’re the latest additions to the county’s COVID-19 Community Hub resource page.
