KGIS introduces COVID-19 Services Map

Testing, Food Distribution and PPE Donation Sites

In partnership with the Knox County Health Department and KEMA, the KGIS Office has designed a COVID-19 Resources & Services Map to promote some of the available services (and resources) for citizens of Knoxville and Knox County during this pandemic emergency. KGIS relies upon information from other agencies and departments, but in particular upon the advise and counsel of the Knox County Health Department and the Knoxville Emergency Managament Agency (KEMA). KGIS welcomes any feedback regarding out-of-date or erroneous information presented on this site (Email us at kgis@kgis.org). 

The map currently shows four different service categories:  Appointment Only Testing, Youth Food Locations, PPE Donation Sites and Public WiFi Sites. Users of this interactive map might choose to visit the generic Services & Resources Map, or optionally, link directly to one of the specific categories (or "themes"). (see below hyperlinks). Each Theme "toggles" on/off layers of information to provide a more focused view of services on the map. As new service categories ("themes") are added to the map, KGIS will accordingly provide direct hyperlinks to those new themes.
