Urban Preparedness Review 2023

WHO Tool for Reviewing Health Emergency Preparedness in Cities and Urban Settings
This review tool has been developed to support the implementation of the global Framework for Strengthening Health Emergency Preparedness in Cities and Urban Settings. It is based on the operational guidance for national and local authorities that accompanies the Framework. It aims to support countries achieve a greater level of health emergency preparedness, by focusing on the unique challenges and vulnerabilities that exist at the city level, and ultimately lead to better national application of the International Health Regulations (2005).
