Technical guidelines on rapid risk assessment
for animal health threats

 

Occurrence and spread of animal health threats can be mitigated when a timely risk assessment is carried out to inform decision-makers on prevention and response including control measures. FAO developed technical guidelines on rapid risk assessment to provide a simple and practical methodology that national veterinary services and other stakeholders can use to assess the risk level of emergence, occurrence and/or spread of animal health threats. 

 

These rapid risk assessment guidelines describe an eight-step multidisciplinary team approach to conduct qualitative risk assessments fast using available evidence, data and information in a short period of two weeks.
