The checklist is based on efforts by various national and international institutions, including WHO, CDC and UN OCHA. It identifies 10 key components and tasks for both countries and the international community. This tool establishes timelines within which to complete tasks of 30, 60 and 90 days respectively from the date of issuing this list, based on the priority level. However, the periods should be redefined by national authorities on the basis of existing regional and national context. (Note: this checklist will be updated based on the feedback received from countries).
