This course provides an introduction to the online platform of SOAR (STLT Outbreak and Analytic Response), a system designed to support state and local public health agencies in monitoring, forecasting, and responding to respiratory illness outbreaks. Through interactive lessons and real-world scenarios, participants will learn how to:
-
Use SOAR’s forecasting tools to monitor trends in COVID-19, Influenza, and RSV at state and county levels.
-
Configure customized alerts to detect potential surges or anomalies in disease spread across different age groups and regions.
-
Integrate SOAR’s insights into their department’s response workflows to support planning, resource allocation, and public communication.
By the end of the course, public health professionals will be equipped to harness SOAR’s capabilities to support timely, data-driven decision-making during outbreak scenarios.
