Flagler County’s Economic Development office launched FlaglerOpen4.biz to allow local businesses to create a listing of services for residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Go to http://flagleropen4.biz).
Businesses can complete a survey that allows them to do the following: provide information about availability and services to the public; and control the information business owners need the community to know.
“We need to work together to keep our economy healthy and maintain our quality of life,” said Kat Friel, economic development manager. “We are asking everyone to share this information, because this is more than a sustainability tool. It’s a platform to springboard recovery.”
Flagler County’s GIS team worked with Friel and her business partners at the Chamber and the tourism office to devise a plan to get business information to the public.
“Both the business team and the GIS team are very forward thinking,” said GIS Manager Darlene Pardiny. “We’ve been collaborating since the weekend in what has proven to be a very fluid process.”
The result is a survey for businesses and a corresponding interactive map for the community, accessible at FlaglerOpen4.biz.
The CDC guidelines stipulate that all gatherings should be limited to 10 people or fewer, and 6 feet of distance should be maintained.
Officials urge all residents and businesses to follow Florida Department of Health and CDC guidance, to include:
Additionally, those who are sick and/or told to self-isolate should: remain at home unless seeking medical care, cover coughs and sneezes, wear a facemask around others, and disinfect touched surfaces daily.
