Situation assessments

What one looks like

Each assessment is a short PDF you can download, print and share. It follows the shape of the Animal and Plant Health Agency's own outbreak assessments, because that shape is the one UK keepers and vets already know.

1. Situation. What has been reported, where, since when, and by whom, with the date of every figure.
2. How it got there. What the official reports say about the likely source and routes, in their words. Where a report says the source is unknown, so do we.
3. Our maps. Places at country, region or county level, never a premises.
4. What it means in the UK. The government's own published risk level, restated as published and dated. OutbreakLens never sets a risk level of its own.
5. What keepers and owners can do. The published guidance, pointed to, not rewritten.
6. Sources. Every report and page used, with its date.

They are educational syntheses of public data: not veterinary, trade or official advice, and not affiliated with any government body. They are free. If you would like one on a particular outbreak, say so: [email protected].
