Brigade members have been at the front lines for rapid response initiatives such as Hurricane Harvey , Maria, and more. In the year of the largest pandemic of decades, Brigades are again pooling their knowledge, resources, and know-how to help people in moments of crisis.

Let us know if you’re working on a rapid response project! Here are some links to projects and calls to action in the Rapid Response space. Many of these projects are COVID-19 related:

- [Index of COVID-19 projects](https://discourse.codeforamerica.org/t/index-of-covid-19-projects-in-the-network/715) in the network
- COVID-19 [Food Mapping Initiatives](https://discourse.codeforamerica.org/t/covid-19-food-mapping-initiatives/732)
- [Get Involved](https://discourse.codeforamerica.org/t/get-involved-brigade-covid-19-projects/718): Brigade COVID-19 Projects
- [COVID-19 Call to Action: Get hospital impact modeling tool in front of local health officials](https://discourse.codeforamerica.org/t/covid-19-call-to-action-get-hospital-impact-modeling-tool-in-front-of-local-health-officials/726)
- [Code for DC](https://discourse.codeforamerica.org/t/code-for-dc-covid-19/720): COVID-19

Additionally, on April 13th, over 70 Brigade members joined a workshop highlighting projects in the Network that are part of the COVID-19 response. **[Watch the video and check out the projects](https://discourse.codeforamerica.org/t/april-13-workshop-priority-action-area-rapid-response/747) highlighted during the workshop!**

What does this project entail? I’m a software engineer and would like to see if I can help somehow.

Awesome! I would recommend joining [Code for America’s Slack](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfRqy9L8Z5bS8cPHmHrY6BPT5g6K45uo0Z3KicYLB4bsFp2wA/viewform), if you haven’t already. And then joining the #covid19response channel to be a part of the discussion of what projects folks are working on and how you can get involved. Additionally, [here is a calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=codeforamerica.org_56ej9m0uahkhviqru2cgerpjp4%40group.calendar.google.com) of virtual Brigade meetings you can join in order to work on projects that are currently in development, many of which are focused on COVID 19 response.
