ALS Geospatial Hub

The ALS Geospatial Hub channel showcases the work on developing maps for the ALS community.
 
The Hub gathers authoritative data from federal agencies, research institutions, and non-profit organizations by geography. This information is then analyzed to find barriers in accessing care, locating environmental risk factors linked to ALS, and developing policy maps to support neurodegenerative disease legislation. The results of these analysis are then shared as maps to embed, storymaps to explain, and map layers which can be used to further analyze the data. This work is done by volunteers who are GIS professionals, ALS researchers, and ALS advocates.
