The purpose of this challenge is to use remote-sensing data and satellite images to help form a better understanding of societal trends as affected by COVID-19. Your challenge is to discern how human activity in communities of minority, low-income, tribal, and indigenous populations have changed as a result of COVID-19.
The covid-19 pandemic has affected globally from health, to the economy and education, among many other affected sectors.Viorbe is a web page that allows the user to know the impact of covid-19 on vulnerable communities, as well as the measures they are taking and how we can contribute. All this in a dynamic way in which you can explore and have specific information about different communities.For the trial version we are based in Oaxaca, one of the states of Mexico with the most indigenous communities.This web page allows us to make visible the challenges of these communities in the face of the pandemic, explore and expose the real situation to the population with current and constantly
The name of the project is viorbe. Viorbe is a dynamic map in a web application that shows numbers of COVID19 infections in marginalized areas, which have been unnoticed by people. Viorbe wants to provide useful information to users; at the same time it offers a friendly and minimalist graphical interface.The application includes very useful tips to prevent the spread and contagion of the virus. The space agency database was used, there is a lot of information that people do not see because it does not seem digestible or they can not understand due to it is complicated; the map is accessible to display information easily with colors and short texts. Viorbe can be used for governments, associations, groups that want to help marginalized communities, so they can be located through Viorbe, also the web application informs the conditions and security measures.
What inspired your team to choose this challenge? To create the project, the team analyzed the available challenges and we choose Environmental Justice During COVID-19 pandemic, because we consider that there is a certain excluded population and we want to help through technology, locating zones.The team identified that marginalized communities have suffered various effects due to COVID-19. However, there are a lot of communities who do not have access to information about the impact of the pandemic; with this project we can share with the people the deficiencies, the conditions under which the population lives and how the virus has affected these areas. The reasons like: help communities, establish information for future generations, create new tools and transcend during the pandemic, inspired us to choose this challenge, where through technological tools and veridical information provided we can be part of the world as agents of exchange, because everyone has the right to access information.
What was your approach to developing this project? We focus on marginalized communities that have been unnoticed by people. The impact of COVID19 in these areas has left consequences that must be reported, the state we chose was Oxaca in Mexico, which has had a great impact due to the pandemic. Thanks to the databases and information available we created the web application Viorbe, which is a dynamic map with useful functions according to the number of COVID19 infections. The COVID19 numbers were high, the most worrying thing is that many areas were not attended to correctly.
What tools, coding languages, hardware, software did you use to develop your project? The tools used to create the web application were Java script, HTML, CSS, MySQL and VUE.JS, the information obtained comes from data provided by EO Dashboard Hackathon.

The team used space agency data to identify the impacts of the covid in different communities, especially in marginalized communities which have had more complications due to the lack of access to measures, information, support and services. This space agency data which is important due to the information contained that can be transmitted, we can make the problem visible and make it easier, also more accessible and dynamic for everyone, through a map with various functions. NASA information should be shared in the best way for users. Using it in our project provides the opportunity to learn more about the problems during the pandemic and even inspire more people to search for solutions.
