The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program has been providing students and the public worldwide with the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to their understanding of the Earth system and global environment. The objective is to use Mosquitoes Habitat Mapper (MHM) to investigate mosquito information and analyzed it to data collected from the Globe Program in Advanced Data by collecting and analyzing data from the Globe Program over the previous 4 years for the benefit to "prevent" and "warn" more events, leading to a forecast or prediction, which is a picture of what might happen in the future, such as health risk assessment, which is used as a tool for predicting potential risks and as a tool to assist management in developing plans and strategies to avoid further consequences. According to the results of the research, we discovered that the majority of recorders can collect larval data in Mosquito Habitat Mapper (32.3 %) and adult data in Mosquito Habitat Mapper (32.3 %). The physical features and surrounding environment of each water source impact the liquid in that water source, which is a mosquito breeding habitat. Because of the differences in the nature of each water source, the quantity of mosquitoes in each water source varies.
