These tables catalog resources tracking emergency declarations, mitigation policies, and other topic-specific resources available at every jurisdictional level in response to COVID-19.

We aim to update these tables regularly, but please contact LawAtlas@temple.edu if you know of any policy tracking resources to add. Additionally, if you are interested in tracking COVID-19 policy responses, or thinking about conducting COVID-19 policy evaluations, our team is available to help you get started with the MonQcle, our policy tracking software, or to help you structure existing legal data for evaluation.
