In presenting the results of your assessment, indicate the following:

· Estimate geographical magnitude and health impact in numbers of projected cases and deaths.

· Estimate needs for outside assistance based on preliminary findings (e.g. drugs, vaccines, technical personnel, and logistics and communications support).

· Give recommendations on the following:

- priority activities and priority at-risk groups, if the disease has been diagnosed; refer to existing emergency plans that may have been prepared; and

- further epidemiological field investigations, if the epidemic is still not well understood.

· Convey the rapid assessment findings to decision-makers at community, subnational, national and international levels.
