Utilizing secondary analysis comparison was made on benefits blockchain has in maintaining continuous reporting in a time of crisis. Blockchain is a technology that helps mitigate some of the challenges that arose and became apparent during the COVID-19 crisis by ensuring uninterrupted reporting because it does not require human to human contact, paper records, or access to specific locations. Blockchain technology is not something that is only useful in a pandemic but can be extrapolated to times of war and severe weather or climate crises.
