人道主义紧急情况往往导致人口流离失所，并增加传染病传播的风险。为了应对人道主义紧急情况期间爆发疫情的风险增加，世界卫生组织建立了早期预警和反应网络（EWARN），以便及早发现容易流行的疾病。疾病控制和预防中心与世界卫生组织、各国卫生部和其他伙伴合作，通过实施和评估这些系统以及制定标准化指导，支持EWARN。虽然已经为EWARN的实施和评估制定了协议，但仍然需要标准化培训和额外指导，以便在进入受影响地区受到限制时远程支持这些系统。伙伴与疾病控制和预防中心在紧急情况下的监测方面继续合作，对于加强能力和支持全球卫生安全是必要的。
Humanitarian emergencies often result in population displacement and increase the risk for transmission of communicable diseases. To address the increased risk for outbreaks during humanitarian emergencies, the World Health Organization developed the Early Warning Alert and Response Network (EWARN) for early detection of epidemic-prone diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has worked with the World Health Organization, ministries of health, and other partners to support EWARN through the implementation and evaluation of these systems and the development of standardized guidance. Although protocols have been developed for the implementation and evaluation of EWARN, a need persists for standardized training and additional guidance on supporting these systems remotely when access to affected areas is restricted. Continued collaboration between partners and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for surveillance during emergencies is necessary to strengthen capacity and support global health security.
