How GIS helped a Texas city save its Christmas parade

Dec 23, 2020 | STATESCOOP The COVID-19 pandemic nearly canceled a beloved holiday tradition in Grapevine, Texas, this year, but some creative planning and the use of geographic information systems technology allowed the city of about 50,000 to hold its annual Christmas parade on Main Street, though in a slightly different format. Instead of the usual processional, which is staged each year as one of the top attractions in the city’s “40 Days of Christmas” program, officials instead held a “reverse parade,” in which the floats remain stationary while people drive past in their cars. Grapevine had originally planned to scrap the event entirely as the health crisis rages, said Betsi Chatham, a city GIS manager, but the city’s claim to be the “Christmas Capital of Texas” prompted staff to come up with an alternative.

Vaccines arrive in Maine, but battle against COVID-19 remains far from over

December has been a month of hope and concern, with COVID-19 vaccines deployed for the first time to hospitals across Maine but health officials warned that the state continues to battle “a surge on top of a surge.” Hospitals this week received the first doses of the Pfizer vaccine and began inoculating frontline workers. The first phase of vaccinations focuses on healthcare workers in intensive care units, emergency rooms and COVID-19 wings of hospitals. This story was originally published by The Maine Monitor.
