Member State Rapid Risk Assessment tool

Overview

WHO has developed and published several guidance documents and tools for risk assessments. These use similar concepts but differ in their scope, objectives, hazard range (e.g. disease-specific versus all-hazards), context of use, geographical scope, time frame for use and target users. The MS-RRA tool should primarily be used when an event may have serious public health implications, requires further follow up and when response actions are not already prescribed (e.g. based on a hazard specific standard operating procedure).

The tool consists of two sections : the Worksheet and the Output sheet, the document below consists of the word document of the tool that the users can use to perform their own rapid risk assessment.
