a. ArcGIS Online
ArcGIS Online has a rich set of tools for creating maps and analyzing spatial data. Using data from the Notification System, users can perform mapping and analytical tasks in web browsers using ArcGIS Online. Users can also download data to the desktop and perform mapping and analysis using ArcGIS Pro.

b. ArcGIS Tutorials - Getting Started
Below are links to training material for MOHW personnel to get started using notification system data to perform geospatial analysis.
1. Disease Mapping
- Display notifications cases as points on a map
- Thematic Mapping: Create maps to show variations in disease rates by parishes and communities.
- Introduction to ArcGIS Online (Video Series)
2. Cluster Analysis
- Use the kernel density tool to create heat maps to identify high-density areas.
- Create Next Generation Heat Maps.
- Use cluster analysis tools to identify statistically significant clusters.
- Cluster Analysis: Finding Patterns Using Statistics and Machine Learning.
3. Temporal Analysis
4. Proximity Analysis
- Use the buffer tool to create zones around incidents to identify locations in close proximity.
5. Statistical Analysis
- Calculate basic spatial statistics (mean center, orientation of points, box plots, etc).
- Identify spatial patterns and clusters using statistical measures.
- Spatial Analysis using ArcGIS Online
6. Perform Spatial Queries
- Use attribute queries to filter and identify specific disease incidents based on their attributes.
- Location-based Queries: Perform location-based queries to find incidents within a specified area.
7. Risk Assessment
- Risk Mapping: Assess and map areas with a higher risk of disease transmission.
- Vulnerability Analysis: Analyze vulnerability factors in relation to disease occurrences.
8. Predictive Modeling
- Use regression analysis to understand spatial relationships.
- Apply machine learning models for predictive modeling.
9. Collaboration and Reporting
- Create Story Maps to communicate and share surveillance data effectively.
- Build interactive dashboards for real-time monitoring and reporting.
