AFHSD senior leaders and epidemiologists determine what disease and health events appear on the HSE on a daily basis. The HSE contains information from a variety of AFHSD products in its role to provide timely, relevant, actionable, and comprehensive health surveillance information to promote, maintain, and enhance the health of the military and its associated populations. In addition, the events can be viewed in proximity to U.S. Embassy locations, the AFHSD’s Global Emerging Infections Surveillance (GEIS) Branch’s partner network of DOD service laboratories and military treatment facilities. All content is archived and can be searched for historical context.

For additional information about the events, contact AFHSD’s Integrated Biosurveillance Branch ARO Team at dha.ncr.health-surv.list.ib-alert-response@health.mil

Each event is assessed as a LOW, MODERATE, or HIGH public health threat, determined by AFHSD based on the implementation of FHP countermeasures. For a brief explanation of the threat levels, click on the “Legend” widget at the top right corner of the blue header bar on the main screen application.
