Summary

The Business Analyst Web App report is added in the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer pop-up to provide more information on layers based on the data collected.

The image below shows the location of Sakura-jima, an active volcano located in the Kagoshima prefecture, southern Japan. It last erupted in 2017 and is closely monitored by the geological department. A report is run in ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App to determine the statistics on the population and related businesses in the area under threat. The report on 5, 10, and 20-kilometer distances from the volcanic cone give a good estimate on the number of people to evacuate and the amount of possible business loss if Sakura-jima erupts. The business report is added in the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer pop-up.
