Rapid Urban Health Security Assessment (RUHSA) Tool

Rapid Urban Health Security Assessment (RUHSA) Tool Local governments and sub-national authorities are often the first to respond to public health emergencies. The Rapid Urban Health Security Assessment (RUHSA) Tool is a resource designed primarily for local government leaders and policymakers to support public policy, decision making and organization as they prioritize, build, and implement capacities to improve local-level health security. While the RUHSA Tool was not designed to be used in the midst of a public health emergency, it may also be adapted to inform a checklist for prioritizing what capacities and activities a city needs to rapidly develop, or to help focus requests for assistance.
