  1. Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA)
    Source: Action Against Hunger (ACF)
    Date Published: 7/9/2015
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The purpose of the Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA) for Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions (SMART) is to make nutrition assessments and mortality rate calculations in emergency situations as easy and reliable as possible. It focuses on the most important indicators (anthropometric and mortality data), checks the plausibility of the entered data, and gives out an automatic report. Since the software cannot explain why children are malnourished or mortality rates are high, the results of the survey have to be complemented with other information (e.g., from the Food Security part of ENA or discussions with key informants); collection of this additional information on the household level has a high risk to reduce the quality of the anthropometric and mortality data. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  7. Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) Toolkit: Second Edition
    Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Environmental Health (CDC NCEH)
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects, Health Studies Branch (DEHHE/HSB) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed the Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) toolkit to assist personnel from any local, state, regional, or federal public health departments in conducting the CASPER during a disaster. The second edition was published 7/9/2012. One of the main objectives in developing this toolkit is to standardize the assessment procedures focusing on U.S. disaster response. The CASPER toolkit provides guidelines on data collection tool development, methodology, sample selection, training, data collection, analysis, and report writing. During a disaster, public health and emergency management professionals must be prepared to respond to and meet the needs of the affected public in a timely manner. HSB's rapid needs assessment toolkit can be used by public health practitioners and emergency management officials to determine the health status and basic needs of the affected community in a quick and low-cost manner. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
