Threat Tracking Tool (TTT)
ECDC has developed a data base, the Threat Tracking Tool (TTT) that allows ECDC to keep track of verified events with a known or possible impact on public health. TTT is designed to support ECDC activities on epidemic intelligence registering, documenting and monitoring threats that ECDC has detected through sources of information.
EPIS
The Epidemic Intelligence Information System (EPIS) is a web-based communication platform that allows nominated public health experts to exchange technical information to assess whether current and emerging public health threats have a potential impact in the European Union (EU).
