Resources for getting plugged in to COVID-19 Response:

- Join the #[covid19response](https://cfa.slack.com/archives/CV1RM8LUB) Channel in CfA Slack.

- You are invited to daily zoom calls for coordination and collaboration around COVID-19 Projects. More info [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yBPZTjHo7VQQW6D23uMugiQ5uxrDvydvRVgHHUGeclw/edit?usp=sharing). Sign up to host one if you’d like! We are a leader-full movement.

- If you’re just diving in, [here is a COVID-19 resource kit](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Rcan4C_e6OBFBI5bUn7MtYK74Ab-WarxyJmDvZUI_YA/preview) with a wealth of knowledge & resources on a variety of topics. And another central database [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1HEdNpLB5p-sieHVK-CtS8_N7SIUhlMpY6q1e8Je0ToY/htmlview?urp=gmail_link&sle=true&fbclid=IwAR2xTXxl4f4ojoc3HoMSYEOmaFJXcfETlH4X_KXzh9RPXQruXmJc-Q54Fxk#gid=1604093003).

- If you’re looking to volunteer locally, we suggest starting with mutual aid efforts near you. Compilations of mutual aid groups [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uP49OQGhosfBN4BOYQvyy_Mu3mpCSOYzip13LksC-S8/preview), [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M9Y46lhZSVIRyE1Qh74Tj5uu91VKs5nhFCUudnFOqOg/edit#gid=776187552), and [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dpMzMzsA83jbVEXS8m7QKOtK4nj6gIUk1U1t6P4wShY/preview#).

- If you’re already coordinating some mutual aid efforts or are looking to start your own locally, join the national coordination slack by filling out [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSec5f4MHWMJ68wKfrRW7qhAvmo1F7vcbnSBIbZhAezaGAL8kQ/viewform) (intended for those organizing the organizers). Check out the tools-and-tech channel where folks are coordinating tech tools for mutual aid.

- See [this Discourse post](https://discourse.codeforamerica.org/t/index-of-covid-19-projects-in-the-network/715) by @HiGregory on a Brigade projects index and map.

- We are also proactively recruiting tech volunteers to serve on a SWAT teams to support local, state, and federal government as tech-related needs emerge. Those needs will likely vary widely, and aren’t specifically defined yet. Consider this building out some capacity infrastructure for if things get really, really chaotic. Sign up [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHhz89YfsXIFh-BnBHUbTQ2rodfTM9a5LMuLDFRIkAW6Ul7A/viewform). **Please note that response time may be delayed (or not at all) depending on needs lifted up from city, state, and federal gov**.

- Here’s [another volunteer clearing house](https://helpwithcovid.com/) where you can sign up for specific projects, or add your own.

- Before creating a new tool, check out [@Jess](https://cfa.slack.com/team/U9KM19XMF)’s [guidance on creating tech resources for disaster response](https://jessicasand.com/ux/creating-tech-resources-for-disaster-response/).

- If you’d like to join the volunteer core team who are organizing Brigade Network COVID-19 efforts, we could use more folks! Get in touch with [@em\_maine (NAC)](https://cfa.slack.com/team/U31M7L0PQ) or Meredith ([mhorowski@codeforamerica.org](mailto:mhorowski@codeforamerica.org)).

Reply to this thread with additional centralized or broadly applicable resources you think should be included, and I’ll add them to this post.
