About

When epidemics occur organizations such as the World Health Organization and Doctor's Without Borders (MSF) have an enormous task in organizing the logistics and distribution of resources to various response measures. We developed a simulation that could take in various distribution of health care workers and locations of Health Care Centers and distribute simulate the epidemic given these parameters and easily display these results to the organization, so they can begin to optimize how they respond to the international crisis. We used the Ebola Outbreak as a test case, and leveraged the ArcGIS Javascript API by ESRI to help visualize spatial data.
