The first is vulnerability mapping and identification of "hot spots." The second, creating systems to better detect threats to provide early warning and enable a rapid response.” “Innovative, event-based surveillance at the community level in the developing world” “Understanding the complex drivers that lead to emerging threats can help communities anticipate surprises and reduce vulnerability.” “Improving data collection, sharing, and analysis for enhanced vulnerability mapping and modeling” “Contributing to enhanced resilience of communities to withstand threats and adapt to changes” “Timely, accurate, and accessible information can help prevent localized health crises from becoming regional or global threats. Google.org is focusing on: (1) Using innovative methods to quickly find threats wherever they occur; (2) Confirming outbreaks and identifying their cause; (3) Alerting key stakeholders, from villagers to global health authorities.”
