Join us to learn about the Symptom Collector, a web-based platform designed by Alliance member Chrysalis Partners to allow individuals to report their symptoms in real-time, from the safety of their own homes, while avoiding unnecessary visits to overburdened hospitals and testing facilities. Cities, counties and states can then get a live feed and custom, interactive map of the granular data, including symptoms and underlying conditions.
Officials from deployment sites Erie County, OH and Jackson, MS will join Chrysalis Partners CEO Kitty Kolding to share how this innovation works and is making an impact by helping officials get an early warning and see into a significant blind spot: people staying home who are getting sick and will soon need testing and care.

COVID 19 Webinar: Communication and Security Tools
2020-03-23 14:00 - 15:00 UTC
Communication and Security Webinar
New Tools for Managing COVID-19

Monday, March 23rd
2:00pm – 3:00pm MT

The Alliance recognizes that governments everywhere are working around the clock to mitigate, slow and prevent the spread of Coronavirus, in addition to dealing with the fallout of economic free fall. They also don’t have time to handle all of the request from vendors offering help, so we’ve filtered some of the offerings we believe are most helpful for your community, surrounding:

Communication: people are looking to governments for critical, emergency information. We have companies offering complimentary services for better communicating with the public during times of emergency, and sharing best practices across cities.
Security: As more employees work remotely and people access government services online, the importance of cyber security has never been greater. An attack could cripple the ability for critical services and information to reach people when they need it most. We have solutions providers willing to help cities quickly improve their security.

http://coloradosmart.city/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/COVID-19-Webinar_03.23.2020.mp4
Presenters:
UgoRound: Emergency Communications – Looking for a better way to get emergency information directly to constituents? Social media and SMS messages have major limitations, but this application allows voluntary and geofenced communication to target audiences during emergencies and establish.
UrbanLeap: Community Resource Sharing – UrbanLeap announced the creation of two virtual communities – one for CIOs and one for City Managers (40 governments across 17 states already participating). UrbanLeague will provide a safe (a closed group for members only) environment in which peers can explore common challenges and share best practices, policies, and approaches to addressing them.
Odix: Security and Ransomeware
Malware and Ransomware will be prominent throughout the COVID-19 attack, and the risk of an attack is higher than ever as governments provide life-saving digital communication and services during the emergency. Odix is offering ransomeware prevention and cyber consult complimentary to Alliance cities right now.
MySidewalk: Community-Level Data
Getting reliable information from reliable sources is tough. MySidewalk is offering complimentary, customized reports compiling virus prevalence, risk factors, and prevention measures. With just a few pieces of information, they can create one for your community – Checkout an example for Denver.

[Webinar] How To Build a Smart City: Securing and Standardizing IoT
2019-09-10 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Smart Cities are no longer just a pipe dream. The moment of a fully connected experience in the place that you live is not only possible now, it is in initial development stages. At this current moment, multiple cities across the globe have started to implement IoT for safety, asset management, logistics, city planning, traffic issues, public transportation, and a myriad of other use cases. However, each city is going about this in their own particular way based off budget, buy in, size, scope, incumbent technology stacks, and most importantly the problems they are trying to solve.
With each city acting as their own Proof of Concept project, standardization will be a key sticking point over the next few years, especially when it comes to IoT Security. Without the proper security in place, setting up thousands of exposed end points will be a major liability for city governments and their residents. Building these new solution with security as a baseline component will be how cities will reach their goals of full connectivity without risk do doing more hard than benefit.
Clovity and Dispersive, two leaders in IoT and Security, will talk best practices and standards for building Smart Cities in this upcoming partner webinar. Chris Medina and Chris Swan will start to lay out a joint vision of the cities of the future where IoT and Security are key components to the daily life of urbanites.
