Utilization of Maps

We used the density layer to get a general idea of where the most points in one location were, then used the buffer layer over all of the points to get a better idea of a more localized point. I then made the radius of the buffer smaller to get an even better idea of where the most cases of Cholera were found and thus found Friendly Hall to be the location of the outbreak. Then narrowed it down to the water fountain.

Location of Outbreak

I believe that the outbreak has been spread from the water fountain inside Friendly Hall.

Descriptions of Jobs

As a group Jake Farrell kept track of locations of flags on campus and created a map for them on arcGIS Online, also created the buffer map and density map as well as the website. Mohammad Aljaberi located the flags on campus. Shuwei Fan kept track of the twitter and Facebook posts and created the map for those.
