What are the different ways that your Government Affairs team has dealt with all of the policies that have been newly implemented or changed regarding the Coronavirus pandemic?

  I have seen a fair number of clients create a central Issues Folder called something like "Coronavirus Response," where they connect Bills, Regulations, Actions, Stakeholders, News Articles, Documents, and other important information and put it all it one spot.

  To get a high-level overview of what state and federal legislators are tweeting in regards to COVID-19, you can use the Legislator Twitter Feeds. Below I have quick searches hyperlinked:

  • State Legislator Twitter Feed: COVID-19
  • State Legislator Twitter Feed: Coronavirus
  • Federal Legislator Twitter Feed: COVID-19
  • Federal Legislator Twitter Feed: Coronavirus

  Highly recommend taking a look at coronavirus.fiscalnote.com as well as FiscalNote's upcoming webinars around COVID-19.

  I have seen many government affairs teams deal with COVID-19 policy changes by following the latest news, alongside accessing resources relating to their most pressing issues.  

  The Coronavirus Resource Center is one such hub helping organizations cut through the noise. I highly recommend checking out the news, resources, and webinars.

  Federal agencies are teleworking, some for the first time, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Agencies are relying on FiscalNote to communicate with their congressional affairs team and inform them of actions they're still taking on their issues. They need to track teleworking, and spending bills to see how it will impact their agency's funding.

  Our government affairs team is relying on FiscalNote to organize all COVID-19 related news articles that reference our organization.  It's been extremely helpful to leverage our team's collective knowledge of these updates.  Each team member adds a link to the Coronavirus Issue if they come across a news article that they think we should be aware of.  To make it easy, we use the same issue folder to organize all policy documents that could impact us.
