We previewed the updated Wehealth Portal features and got feedback on how to map different communities to their corresponding jurisdictions including townships, cities, regional health departments, territories and tribal nations. We also got feedback on our NWS alerts integration, the public dashboard, community-level customization and newer CDC alert for  respiratory illness activity.
