In addition to tracking events related to Conflicts, Refugees, Energy, and Natural Disasters, the BlackSky Platform can also be used to alert on events related to Public Health – specifically disease outbreaks that register as anomalies in our system. Here’s some examples of currently active BlackSky Outbreak alerts:
Measles Outbreak in Minneapolis – Somali immigrant community hit hard – an unprotected cultural demographic tied to fears of vaccinations causing autism: [Image](A).
Cholera Outbreak in Yemen – an unfortunate side effect of the prolonged fighting and civil disruption of the past several years: [Image](B).

Ebola Outbreak in Congo – a resurgence of the epidemic a few years ago. Congo is also dealing with Measles and Cholera outbreaks: [Image](C).
Legionnaire’s Disease Outbreak in Australia – linked to infected cooling towers at Melbourne suburban shopping center: [Image](D).
