The Drexel University Center for Public Health Readiness and Communication developed a quantitative public health risk assessment tool that has been used in Pennsylvania and across the United States. The tool assesses hazard impacts on health care and public health metrics and incorporates the planning needs of at-risk populations. The flexible platform using Microsoft Excel allows planners to customize hazard assessment and use jurisdiction-specific data. Findings from the risk assessment can guide planning and evaluate preparedness progress over time.
