	Global Health Security (GHS) Index Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security (JHU) The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) (2019) CC View PDF(97) Download (28) Add to my MEDBOX The GHS Index is intended to be a key resource in the face of increasing risks of high-consequence and globally catastrophic biological events and in light of major gaps in international financing for preparedness. These risks are magnified by a rapidly changing and interconnected world; increasing political instability; urbanization; climate change; and rapid technology advances that make it easier, cheaper, and faster to create and engineer pathogens. Key findings from the study of 195 countries: • Out of a possible 100 points, the average GHS Index score across 195 countries was 40.2. • The majority of high- and middle-income countries do not score above 50. • Action is urgently needed to improve countries’ readiness for high-consequence infectious disease outbreaks.

	Communication Risk in Public Health Emergencies World Health Organization (WHO) (2018) C_WHO View PDF(1772) Download (430) Add to my MEDBOX A WHO Guideline for Emergency Risk Communication (ERC) policy and practice. Recent public health emergencies, such as the Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa (2014–2015), the emergence of the Zika virus syndrome in 2015–2016 and multi-country yellow fever outbreaks in Africa in 2016, have highlighted major challenges and gaps in how risk is communicated during epidemics and other health emergencies. The challenges include the rapid transformation in communications technology, including the near-universal penetration of mobile telephones, the widespread use and increasingly powerful influence of digital media which has had an impact on ‘traditional’ media (newspapers, radio and television), and major changes in how people access and trust health information. Important gaps include considerations of context – the social, economic, political and cultural factors influencing people’s perception of risk and their risk-reduction behaviours Tags: risk communication, radio broadcast, social media, emergency, outbreak, outbreak management, ebola impact, Zika, emergency preparedness, Source: http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665
	Communication du risque pendant les urgences sanitaires Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) (2018) C_WHO View PDF(1266) Download (572) Add to my MEDBOX La communication sur les risques est un aspect à part entière des interventions d’urgence. Il s’agit de l’échange en temps réel d’informations, de conseils et d’avis entre les experts, les responsables communautaires, les décideurs politiques et les populations en situation de risque. Lors d’une épidémie, d’une pandémie, d’une crise humanitaire ou d’une catastrophe naturelle, une communication sur les risques efficace permet aux populations les plus exposées de comprendre les comportements à adopter pour se protéger. Ainsi, les autorités et les experts peuvent être à l’écoute des inquiétudes et des besoins, chercher à y répondre et faire en sorte que leurs conseils soient pertinents, fiables et recevable Tags: risk communication, communication du risque, crise humanitaire, humanitarian crisis, guideline, Source: http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handl
