You can create your own apps that will help users and yourself interact with maps and visualizations you make. You can add different content and data to these apps. There are different steps and considerations to take into account when creating an app. These include thinking about your audience, the components you want to include, and what type of app will best suit your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Complete Web Course: ArcGIS Online Basics (2 Comments and Pictures)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I thought the apps were a very interesting component of ArcGIS Online.

I also think it\u2019s really useful how you can create different groups within your organization and provide them with different data.

Another interesting application I found was the use of ArcGIS online to predict models for Natural disasters. Over the summer, my boyfriend made a connection with someone who works for FEMA in Washington, D.C. so, I got to learn about how FEMA utilizes ArcGIS for natural disaster relief, cleanup, and predictions. So, I searched for one of their maps. This one is a predictive model for a hurricane located off the coast of Mexico.
