HERA Risk Assessment Framework

The HERA Risk Assessment Framework is a structured process used by health authorities to evaluate potential biological threats. It systematically identifies hazards, assesses their likelihood and potential impact, and prioritizes risks based on scientific evidence. This helps decision-makers understand which threats require immediate attention and allocate resources effectively to prevent or mitigate health emergencies, such as pandemics. The framework ensures assessments are thorough, transparent, and consistent, guiding strategies for preparedness, response, and management of biological risks to protect public health.
