Local governments and sub-national authorities are often the first to respond to public health emergencies, sometimes with wide-ranging responsibilities but often insufficient capacities to deal with them. The Rapid Urban Health Security Assessment (RUHSA) Tool is a resource designed primarily for local government leaders and policy makers to support public policy, decision making and organization as they prioritize, build, and implement capacities to improve local-level health security.
