Select a map view and change which news reports appear and how they are displayed on the map (e.g. by location or by animal classes affected). Some of these map views are limited to the last 45 days of published news stories, while others extend the time range back further. (Note: The ‘Extended Map Views’ have more stories and hence will take longer to load.)

Provides other non-geographical ways to view news reports. Users can look at news reports on a Timeline or as a List of Articles with headlines and descriptions. (Plus, users can use the filters to limit data in those views as well!)
Use the slider feature or type numbers in the boxes to define a range of days to view. For example, 0-45 includes the last 45 days. 0-7 includes the last 7 days.
Clicking the orange RSS feed icon will open the GeoRSS feed of the last 45 days of mapped entries from the http://wdin.blogspot.com blog. Clicking the blue icon will open a Network Link layer for Google Earth. If you add this layer to Google Earth, it will keep itself up to date each time you re-open the program.
The legend colors and symbols change depending on which map view the user has selected. If the map is viewed by ‘Location’, the legend has geographical labels. If the map is viewed by ‘Potential Human Threat’, the legend changes to disease types labels (e.g. viral disease, fungal disease).
Expand or collapse the filters by clicking on the +/- symbol next to the filter category. Click on one or more selection to limit the articles displayed. After the first selection is made, checkboxes are visible to the user for additional selections. Reset all selected filters using the Reset All Filters link at the top of the view.
