Bird Flu Risk Dashboard Introduction

The dashboard functions by combining multiple data streams - real-time disease outbreak data, historical wild bird movement patterns, environmental variables, and locations of susceptible domestic populations - to create an interactive visualization platform. Users can explore outbreak dynamics through a time slider feature that shows temporal patterns of outbreaks and bird movements. The system allows both retrospective analysis of past outbreaks and prospective risk assessment for potential future spread. The data is updated daily to reflect new outbreaks and surveillance information, enabling users to monitor current situations and emerging threats. The dashboard presents this information through various graphics and visualizations that can be filtered by region or total outbreak numbers.
