Speaker: Diana Lavery


ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World has all kinds of maps, apps, and layers that GIS analysts in health can use. Items contributed straight from the CDC and National Cancer Institute can help provide context, and health insurance coverage information from Census’ American Community Survey can give background information on locations of interest. Bring the data into your maps in the form of pop-ups, and use dynamic filtering to help identify places in need of services.   
  • Overview of health content available in Living Atlas
  • How to incorporate Living Atlas data into your maps’ pop-up using FeatureSets
  • Some new features of Map Viewer Beta (tagged color ramps, dynamic filtering, etc.)

Diana has also provided additional resources for individuals who are interested:
