Surveillance and outbreak tools

Several tools are available to support and guide outbreak preparedness, investigation and response activities. These are open access and free to use. 

A number of restricted platforms support early detection of public health threats and coordinate response activities between EU Member States, the European Commission and other partners. Access to these tools is limited to nominated users.
