    Community-based surveillance to detect symptomatic cases early for treatment and to avert viral transmission;
    Sentinel surveillance in high-risk populations to detect ...and track both presymptomatic and asymptomatic cases; and
    Wastewater surveillance to monitor early environmental signs of virus transmission and identify communities where targeted interventions can be implemented to decrease transmission.

Recently, the approach to hazardous events has undergone a considerable shift, away from reactive activities focused on managing and responding to events and towards a more proactive process of emergency and disaster risk management (DRM). The ultimate goal of this shift in focus is ...to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risks, a process known as disaster risk reduction (DRR), while strengthening individual, community, societal and global resilience.

The evidence-based interventions are drawn from the WHO Package of eye care interventions and developed with a focus on del...ivering screenings easily, safely, and effectively in low- and low–intermediate-resource settings. The early identification through screenings ensures timely treatments and management to avoid vision impairment in high-risk populations, including newborns, pre-school children, school children, and older adults.
